Our third Individuals Development Programme (IDP3) was held at El Rancho, a fantastic conference centre in Waikanae on the Kapiti Coast.

Whanaungatanga / connection is always a priority for these events – it’s through this that our young people are gaining mutual support and encouragement, building self-confidence, developing self-expression and leadership skills.

Discussion sessions and presentations included mental health, transitions and job preparedness – there was also a quiz night, bonfire (with marshmallows of course), a great Nerf battle, plenty of games and the all-important chillout time!

Many thanks to our funders, who helped this wonderful group of rangatahi (16+) and adults living with FASD to get together again.
