Community Mental Health and Addiction Service staff are based at Te Kopae Building, Gate 2 of Te Whatu Ora Whanganui hospital-Whanganui, Rangitikei, Taihape and Waimarino health centres.
All Te Whatu Ora Whanganui Community Mental Health and Addiction Services have a multidisciplinary team (MDT) of health professionals who work together with the service user and their family to ensure they receive integrated care to help with their recovery and discharge.
The Te Whatu Ora Whanganui work in partnership with Te Oranganui Iwi services who have kaumātua and kuia available to provide cultural support to patients/service users/tangata whaiora and their whānau, if required.
