The West Auckland Survivor Hub is a service provided by the West Auckland Mental Health Support Trust as part of Te Ata — a place where survivors of abuse in state care can meet, connect, and support one another.
About The Hub
Our purpose is to make a space where survivors can find each other
Survivors have a place where they can build trust without being judged, and have a chance to speak about their experience if they choose. Members are given an opportunity to talk about current life situations and gain support from the group.
State Care
Includes experiences in foster homes, schools, and hospitals that were overseen or operated by the state.
Faith-Based Care
Includes experiences in churches and religious schools where harm or abuse took place within a faith setting.
What we offer
Support, fellowship, and a voice
Build Trust
Survivors meet in a non-judgemental space where trust can grow at a pace that feels right for each person.
Share Your Story
Members can speak about their experiences if they choose — there is no pressure, only space and support.
Gain Group Support
Members talk about current life situations and draw on the shared wisdom and support of the group.
