Sometimes, it’s hard to know where to go for help when you’re feeling a bit off. Your whānau and friends might have their own problems, so where to go for support? Help is out there, and we want to make it easy for you to access it at the wellbeing festival!
Puāwai is a wellbeing festival for you, run and organised by local youth. Win prizes by completing sports and creative activities, get information about mental, physical and sexual health, job and education support and more. Enjoy local youth hip hop and rock bands, kapa haka performances and circus shows.
We wanted to bring a fun, free and non judgemental event to Whangarei, to connect Whangārei’s youth with great opportunities. We hope that when you leave our event, you feel strong and have a sense of self-determination of your own well-being. We hope you feel confident to access support if need be. We really want to empower our young communities.
