MHT Diabetes Youth and Family Support

The Manawatu, Horowhenua and Taraura Diabetes Trust mission is to create an environment of support, connection and community for our youth and their family/whānau.  Our youth service provides opportunities to enable our rangatahi and tamariki who have diabetes, live their best lives alongside their whānau and those who care for them.

We achieve this through camps, support groups, social events and education workshops, where our community meet and connect with others sharing the same journey, whilst having fun.

  Events include:

• Social events for family/whānau – all ages

• Family/whānau camps

• Youth/rangatahi camps – 9 to 13 year olds

• Parent/whānau support groups – meet at local cafes

• Young adult/rangatahi dinners and coffee groups – 18 to 30 year olds

• Young adult/rangatahi Zoom ‘Connect and Chat’ meetings – 18 years and up

• Education workshops – parents/rangatahi.
