Our programmes
This programme is currently under design in collaboration with migrant community groups in Queenstown! Please follow this link to register and be involved on Friday 6th March.
The programme is about wellbeing, in the framework of culture shock and the unique challenges faced by migrants new to the country. It offers practical resources and tools so that people can proactively look after their own wellbeing, and that of their friends and family.
It is designed for delivery on a digital platform, which empowers community leaders and peers to host and deliver the programme within their own community. It also enables people to anonymously share their stories and experiences as well as in person; and supports participants who are not confident speaking in public.
Connect & Thrive: a Wellbeing Programme for Migrants in NZ will be offered free to migrant community groups from May 2026, and can be run within community regularly.
