What can you expect if you sign up at Te Ata?

Enrolling at Te Ata is relaxed and easy. Just pop in anytime between 9.30 and 3.30 Monday to Friday.  One of our staff will introduce themselves, show you around our center and let you know what programs we are currently running.  You're welcome to sit and chat, join in with a group, and stay (as well as visit again) for as long as you need to feel comfortable.

 

To join up as a member we will sit with you and (if wanted) your chosen support people/whanau etc. to fill in a brief membership form, so we know how best to support you while you're here, as well as anything in particular you'd like to get out of being here.

What do we do at Te Ata?

We provide a social space to meet and connect with peers. All our staff and volunteers (and most of our governance board) have lived experience of mental health challenges. We have classes, events, pool tables, table tennis, free wifi, a computer for members and a donations table.

Tea/instant coffee facilities etc are provided free for members.

We also have a Nespresso Machine and pods available ($2.00) 

 

We have snacks that can be purchased from a member's canteen. All money collected goes back to members for funding event's etc.

​

We have monthly members meetings where members share ideas and make decisions on the day to day running of the center (including what groups/programs/events etc should happen). Members meetings are run by members with support from staff. 

 

Active participation in all aspects of running Te Ata is very welcome.
