Recovery promoters provide recovery training and planning to service users, service providers and other organisations wishing to support people living mental illness.
The service is provided by people with personal experience. They understand the barriers and difficulties you may be trying to overcome. The service provides:
- up-to-date and accessible information, education and resources to individuals and/or for their whānau on recovery, harm reduction and how to get the best out of services
- support to people accessing services and their whānau
- development or maintenance of strong links with peer support networks
- information and support for access to health and social services, for example, primary health care, education, housing
- strong links with mental health services, addiction services and peer networks, and other community-based services
- active promotion of inclusion and integration into the community

Working to reduce the stigma associated with mental illness and to reduce discrimination experienced by people with mental illness, our recovery promoters provide training to consumer groups, community agencies and other organisations wishing to address mental health within their environments.
