Free online counselling service

Manukau Institute of Technology

Lockdown can be hard on all of us and it can be tough to find someone to lend us an ear or share a korero with.

Our students from the bachelor of applied counselling degree at MIT can provide a Free online counselling service.

The great thing about it is that you don’t have to be a current student of MIT to access this free counselling, you need only be living in New Zealand and be 16 years or older. We invite you to share the link below with family, friends and colleagues or anyone you feel may find this helpful.
