Testimonials

“I thoroughly recommend the program to other schools looking for a point of difference to their well-being programs. Perhaps this is a step towards the barrier at the top of the cliff rather than the ambulance at the bottom.

It is pretty cool to look back over the past four months and see how far I have come with the support from Reframe. I have proudly got my certificate for completing weighted animal workshop hanging on my wall and the teddy lies on my bed which helps me regularly. I now have the confidence to leave the house, attend these groups and successfully self-regulate during them.

I am proud to say that Reframe has helped immensely with my journey through my struggles with mental health this year. I cannot wait for more opportunities with Reframe Wananga and I am excited to see it develop into something bigger that touches other peoples’ lives like it has mine

The work you do at Reframe Wānanga looks excellent, and I recognise your efforts to work with young people and empower them to b experts in their own self-care using a recovery focused educational model.

Stepping Stone Trust (SST) was formed over 25 years ago, by Graeme Reid, QSM as a community ministry of the South West Baptist Church. The aim was to offer a place people affected by mental distress and trauma could go to receive care and support, and be treated with dignity and respect. It was a time of new thinking around how to provide people with a sense of community, citizenship, belonging, and a stepping stone to hope for a better way of life.

From this low-key start, the Trust quickly expanded into providing full residential services. Community support services were also added to assist people transitioning back to independent living, or to remain in their own home.

Now one of the largest mental health service providers in New Zealand, Stepping Stone Trust’s services reach over 500 people each week in the Canterbury region, through the work of its 130 staff, and several volunteers, all dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of others.

SST is fortunate to receive a large portion of its funding through the Canterbury District Health Board, enabling all services to remain free of charge.

Manu Ka Rere is a free service for young people aged 13-24 who are seeking support for their wellbeing. We offer face to face counselling sessions, group work therapy, education and other activities.

Previously known as Community Youth Mental Health Service (CYMHS), Manu Ka Rere is a collaborative of eight organisations across Canterbury. These include Odyssey House, Stepping Stone Trust, Purapura Whetu, Ashburton Community Alcohol and Drug Service (ACADS), Community Wellbeing North Canterbury Trust, Waipuna, 298 Youth Health and City Mission.

We work closely with Specialist Mental health Services (CHDB) and are also connected with other services.

Connecting people, inspiring discovery, enriching communities.
