Description

This service ensures that MH consumers across Hawkes Bay have appropriate support and advocacy when dealing with clinical services, legal issues, housing, benefit entitlements or any other issue that they might need assistance with. Our advocates can accompany clients to these forums and speak on their behalf if necessary. This is a service for individual MH consumers to access for assistance.
