Here's what drives us:
Each year our Group works with thousands of New Zealanders and their families. We provide people with a broad range of community-based mental health and wellness services. In doing so we dramatically reduce their need for high-cost hospital and acute services and help people have happier, more fulfilling and more productive lives.
Each year the Group's housing services help people find and live in affordable homes, also helping them appreciate the rights and responsibilities of being tenants and managing homes.
Each year the Group's employment agency helps people who experience a serious mental health condition get off benefits, become financially independent and reclaim their self-esteem by finding and retaining paid jobs.
Each year people throughout the country attend professional development programmes through the Group's NZQA certified training organisation.
Each year thousands of mental health professionals in the public and private sector are supported and developed via the Group's national workforce development organisation.
Together we make a real difference by creating connections to support people to find and live their dreams.
