A person’s living conditions sometimes mean it can be difficult for them to get the mental health and/or addictions related support they need. The service is for people with persistent, long-term mental health and/or substance dependency problems, many of whom may be homeless and/or do not have any family support. The service is for people from Wellington, Porirua and Kāpiti. We provide therapy and education to help people see the early signs of a possible relapse. We also help clients with practical issues, such as connecting them with help from Work and Income New Zealand (WINZ). Here are some examples of what we provide for our clients: psychologists use non-drug treatments like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and eye movement desensitisation reprocessing (EMDR) to provide tools for people to better manage stress and mitigate their problems. mental health nurses help with medication, advocacy and assessment, and can do home visits. occupational therapist can engage you in everyday activities of interest, paid or volunteer work, outside interests and activities to get you on the road to feeling better. social worker provides talking therapy, support with families, psychosocial education, support with social services and connecting people with communities. psychiatrist can prescribe medication if it is the best option.
