There are a number of ways you can connect with the service
Unlike some other talking therapy services, you can normally talk to one of our team on the same day you ask for help.
There is no referral criteria, and our teams are based in general practice, Iwi & Māori health providers and community locations right across the district so there's always someone close to you, wherever you are.
Sometimes it is common to feel like life is getting on top of you. Reaching out for help doesn’t need to be scary. The Te Ara Rau Access & Choice Team can work alongside you to support you and your whānau’s wellbeing.
