Brave Hearts NZ Manukau support group is back on Thursday 29 January 2026.
They support family and whānau who are supporting someone experiencing addiction harm — helping people find hope and healing along the way.
💬 What happens at Brave Hearts NZ meetings?
These gatherings are safe spaces where people can: ✨ Share their story if they feel ready — their voice matters
✨ Listen to others who understand the weight they carry
✨ Learn practical skills to navigate ongoing challenges
✨ Feel supported, empowered, and reminded that healing is possible
Their journey matters. Hearing stories of hope from people who’ve walked a similar path can make even the hardest days feel lighter. If they’re new, there’s no pressure — they can come, sit, and listen. They’re welcome as they are.
📍 Manukau meeting
Restarting: Thursday 29 January 2026
