Working alongside people with mental health conditions and dual diagnosis high and complex needs, tangata (people we support) who require community based intensive support, and choices in community living services.
Our holistic approach is underpinned by Māori values and principles. Whanaungatanga relationship building and strengthening is essential to ensuring tangata have as much choice and control over their own lives as possible.

The success of TRT relies on our ability to attract the best staff, contractors, agency/temporary support and volunteers available.
