OUR FOCUS IS ON CONTRIBUTION, FUNCTIONALITY, AND WELLNESS
Post-release is the initial stabilisation phase of the RAW model. In this phase we focus on investing in social relationships and whanaungatanga by consolidating and teaching lifestyle skills (garden-to-table, wellbeing, home function and maintenance) within a pay-it-forward framework.
KEY FOCUS AREAS IN THE STABILISATION PHASE:
- Exploring and connecting with culture in partnership with Ngāti Tumutumu Trust.
- Individualised and tailored re-integration to suit each wahine’s need.
- Regular connection with whānau is supported and encouraged.
- Structured weekly timetable providing routine, purpose, and learning.
- Practical support with all appointments, probation, WINZ etc.
- Gym membership and tailored personalised wellness plans.
- Regular connection with the maunga and nature.
