Description

When a family member is mentally unwell or is coping with addiction issues, it can be confusing and stressful for the rest of the family / whānau.

Our family and whānau services help families enhance their wellbeing by building on their resilience, understanding and affirming their experience of supporting someone with mental health and/or addiction concerns. Support for children, Māori and Pasifika whānau available.
