Rongoā Māori Support Service
Our Rongoā Māori Support Service is focused on providing Māori counsellors for Māori clients.

Our Offering
Ensuring people are happy and healthy at work is the core purpose of the EAP Services programme.
We believe, ensuring that people have access to cultural support is also important. Understanding different world views on health and wellbeing is vital and while Western medical customs have a place in the healing process, so do indigenous approaches.
Our Rongoā Māori support offering is focused on providing Māori health providers for Māori clients. If you are looking for more of a traditional approach to health and wellbeing, we are able to provide Rongoā Māori Support. Our Rongoā Māori offering is here to help across Aotearoa.
