Recovery St is a community-centred organisation that combines creativity, cultural knowledge and clinical expertise to support people navigating addiction and mental-health challenges. Their vision emphasises service to whānau and community, bringing healing and mana motuhake (self-determination) to individuals and families. The mission is to inspire hope and promote wellbeing across whānau, hapū, iwi and individuals in need. Their values are rooted in aroha (love), pūkenga ahurea (cultural skillfulness) and pono (integrity/genuineness).

Recovery St runs transformative 4–12 week programmes that combine art, therapy, and Māori cultural practice to support healing and recovery. Participants express themselves through sculpture, film, music, kapa haka, theatre, and spoken word, while engaging in trauma-informed processes such as psychodrama, drama and narrative therapy, and Māori spiritual practices. Each programme helps participants reflect on their past, reimagine their future, and share their stories through community performances or exhibitions in spaces such as prisons, rehabilitation centres, and marae — turning personal recovery into collective empowerment.

Founded and led by Chris Molloy, a clinician with lived experience of addiction and recovery, Recovery St stands at the intersection of lived experience, therapeutic support and creative arts practice.
