Te Ata provides a warm, welcoming environment that offers companionship, peer support, and a wide range of amazing programs and groups. We look forward to many more years of creating community together.
Te Ata - Henderson, West AucklandTo join up as a member we will sit with you and your chosen support person or whanau if wanted to fill in a brief membership form, so we know how best to support you while you're here, as well as checking if there is anything in particular you'd like to get out of being here.
We provide a social space to meet and connect with peers. All our staff and volunteers (and most of our governance board) have lived experience of mental health challenges. We have classes, events, pool tables, table tennis, free wifi, and members computers.
Tea/instant coffee facilities etc are provided free for members.
We have snacks that can be purchased from a member's canteen. All money collected goes back to members for funding event's etc.
We have monthly members meetings where members share ideas and make decisions on the day to day running of the centre (including what groups/programs/events etc should happen). Members meetings are run by members with support from staff.
We hugely value members skills and areas of interest. Many members volunteer their time and talents bringing richness to our community.
We are open from 9:30am to 3:30pm Monday to Friday.
