Is this training for you?
The Mānava Ola workshop is recommended for people 18 years and over. In addition, it is not a treatment or support group and some content may cause distress for vulnerable people.
Due to the purpose and content of Mānava Ola, those of Pasifika heritage will be given first priority in registering for these workshops. If you have any questions, please email flo@leva.co.nz and our staff will get back to you as soon as possible.
