Our name, The Harakeke Centre, is inspired by the flax plant, known as harakeke in Maori culture. It is believed that the three inner layers of the plant represent a family, with the outer layer symbolizing the grandparents and the inner layer of new shoots representing the child, protected by the next inner layer of leaves, the parents. This symbolism reflects our commitment to providing a safe and nurturing environment for individuals and families to heal and grow.

We believe that people are the greatest asset in this world, and it is through our connection and support for one another that we can thrive. Our mission at The Harakeke Centre is to empower individuals and families to overcome challenges, build resilience, and lead fulfilling lives.
