Culturally Grounded Wellbeing
Discover the unique services offered by Kahiau Wellbeing Trust, designed to support the mental and emotional wellbeing of Auckland's Pasifika communities. Our heart-led approach blends lived experience with deep cultural understanding.
What Makes Us Unique
At Kahiau Wellbeing Trust, our uniqueness lies in our lived experience and deep cultural grounding. Born from personal loss, we offer services that are not only trauma-informed but also heart-led. We understand the silent battles many face—because we’ve walked through them ourselves.
Unlike many mainstream services, we create safe, welcoming spaces that honour Pasifika culture, faith, and community values. Our programs blend storytelling, Talanoa, creative healing, and fun activities to gently challenge stigma around mental health—especially in families where silence is the norm.
We don’t just offer support, we offer connection, understanding, and empowerment. Every service is designed with compassion, authenticity, and cultural safety at the core.
How We Help You Thrive
Kahiau Wellbeing Trust supports Aucklanders—especially Pasifika communities—by providing safe, culturally grounded spaces where people feel heard, supported, and empowered. Through our wellbeing workshops, suicide prevention programs, and community outreach, we break down stigma and open up real conversations around mental health.
We help people reconnect with themselves and others through creative, faith-based, and fun activities that support emotional healing. Whether it’s one-on-one support, group programs, or family-focused services, our goal is to build confidence, restore hope, and encourage healthier, more joyful living.
We don’t just offer services—we walk alongside people as they find their strength again.
Not Sure Where to Start?
That’s completely okay—many people feel the same way when they first reach out. At Kahiau Wellbeing Trust, we’re here to help you figure it out together. You don’t need to have the right words or know exactly what you need. Just start by having a chat with us.
We’ll listen, guide you through what we offer, and help you find the support that feels right for where you’re at—whether that’s a one-on-one kōrero, joining a workshop, or just sitting in a space where you feel safe and heard.
