The Central Regional Forensic Adult Mental Health Service covers Wellington, Manawatu-Wanganui, Hawke’s Bay and Gisborne districts. The forensic mental health services operate between the criminal justice system and general mental health services. They focus on managing and giving expert advice about people who present with serious mental health conditions in a variety of settings including prisons, courts, specialised inpatient units and the community. The forensic service works closely with the justice system to provide secure assessment, treatment and rehabilitation services for mentally ill offenders, alleged offenders, or adolescents who pose a high risk of offending.
We have forensic adult community teams based near the courts in the main cities in each district and near the the 5 prisons in the central region of the North Island.
