OBJECTIVES
|
The effect of addiction and trauma from family breakdown is swamping our nation.
WST understands the need for communities to work together as these issues cannot be solved by any one agency or organisation working autonomously. There are many organisations and good people in our community doing their best, but they are often struggling under the sheer load of people needing help. Together, we have the answers. |
|
WST believes addiction is primarily driven by pain and trauma; and in many cases, cycles of generational dysfunction and poverty. Our programme will deal with healing these root causes, including shame and rejection, and working towards family restoration, and learning work and life skills.
WST recognises Māori philosophy towards health; te whare tapa whā, based on a holistic health model, seeing health as a four-sided concept representing four basic beliefs of life: Te Taha Hinengaro (psychological health), Te Taha Tinana (physical health), Te Taha Whanau (family health) and Te Taha Wairua (spiritual health).
WST has a wide, Christian worldview, and we care for people of every faith, creed and race.
HOW WE ARE DIFFERENT
We intend to focus on healing not only the resident, but for those who are willing--work to restore the residents' relationships within their entire family unit. In addition, we intend to introduce a Māori whanaungatanga programme exploring Māori identity. Unlike commercially driven rehabs, we are not-for-profit, and therefore intend to work with many other agencies and rehabs like Te Ara Oranga, Te Hā Oranga, Timatanga Hou (Dargaville detox), NDHB, and the Salvation Army... because TOGETHER, WE HAVE THE ANSWERS.
