Recovery Facilitators work with Te Whatu Ora clinical teams, primary care, government organisations, community housing and support services, drug and alcohol services and health providers, to offer person and whānau centric services. Recovery Facilitators work alongside whaiora to support and maintain all aspects of wellness.
