A south Auckland mental health provider is having spectacular success with a new traditional canoeing programme.
Clients like Steven Tutuvanu, who earlier this year could not bring himself to face the world, are finding a new lease of life.
"Just being on the lake is really nice when you glide through the waters on the canoe," says Tutuvanu.
Mental health provider Blue Dove is finding its programme is a hit with Pacific Islanders in particular.
Although the pilot programme is still fairly new, it is off to a promising start.
When it started three months ago, only three people showed up. Now it is a different story.
The group of avid paddlers is rapidly growing and there are now plans to expand the programme.
