Whānau & Family Addiction Support Service

We are a support service for people with loved ones with substance use and addiction issues. Our community is being directly affected by the agonising, daily trauma of having an addicted loved one.

Brave Hearts NZ offers hope for a better future for families and their loved ones.

November 2025 Cutting Edge 

Our Bravehearts team had the privilege of attending this year's Cutting Edge conference in Rotorua where over 900 addiction and mental health workers listened, learned and cried.
The kōrero was powerful and moving.

There are so many incredible humans doing beautiful work all around Aotearoa, most on a shoestring budget. We need support but most of all we need funding. The need is great sadly.
Here's to 2027, see you again in Ōtautahi.
