Participant feedback
★★★★★
“I really enjoyed the Kia Ora Programme and would recommend the workshop to anyone living with a long-term health condition. The facilitators were friendly and personable. They explained the ideas and topics in each session clearly. They made the sessions informative and fun. I learned a lot of different ways of applying the tools offered to manage my health conditions. Anyone who is living with long-term conditions would benefit from the tools and knowledge offered through the Kia Ora Programme. “
