\u201cThe cafes will offer an alternative space where people can sit down in a more relaxed and therapeutic setting.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are part of our plan to ensure there is someone to call, someone to respond and somewhere to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Health NZ Te Whatu Ora tender for a \u201cPeer Support Crisis Recovery Cafe\u201d in Tair\u0101whiti opened late last month and closed this week.<\/p>\n

The tender or request for proposals document said the initiative would help lead the development of peer support within a Crisis Recovery Cafe setting.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe lived experience, training, and insight that peer support workers bring will be central to enhancing support for people in distress \u2013 offering hope, connection, and practical support at a critical time in Tair\u0101whiti district.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Gisborne Herald approached Te R\u016bnanganui o Ng\u0101ti Porou and Turanga Health for comment on the tender.<\/p>\n

Turanga Health<\/a> chief executive Rewiti Ropiha said the organisation had reviewed the tender and would not be putting forward a proposal.<\/p>\n

The other cafes are planned for Hawke\u2019s Bay, Hutt Valley, Christchurch and Dunedin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cThe cafes will offer an alternative space where people can sit down in a more relaxed and therapeutic…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":31534,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[1882,537,2082,12506,134,1885,554,555,9812,111,139,69,5493,26346,2171,1881,1886,30279,61],"class_list":{"0":"post-31533","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mental-health","8":"tag-cafe","9":"tag-crisis","10":"tag-for","11":"tag-gisborne","12":"tag-health","13":"tag-mental","14":"tag-mental-health","15":"tag-mentalhealth","16":"tag-needs","17":"tag-new-zealand","18":"tag-newzealand","19":"tag-nz","20":"tag-open","21":"tag-planned","22":"tag-plans","23":"tag-recovery","24":"tag-support","25":"tag-tairwhiti","26":"tag-to"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31533","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31533"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31533\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31534"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31533"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
