Event organisers and venue managers want to run successful, safe, and fun events. Care spaces at events can help people who are in distress, using non-judgemental peer support methods. Event Care Spaces Aotearoa provides a guide for anyone establishing or working alongside a care space in Aotearoa, sourced from the knowledge and expertise of a range of practitioners working in the field already.

This guidance aims to support the continued development of care spaces at events by establishing a broadly applicable understanding of what care spaces at events are and guidance on how to run them effectively. The website includes explanations of the values underlying the harm reduction approach, a step-by-step guide for those setting up their own care spaces, information for organisers and events who are engaging with a care space, and links to the existing care spaces and resources around Aotearoa. You can also contact our team for more information and support.
