If you would like more information, or you’re not sure and would just like to talk to someone, contact one of the Yellow Brick Road friendly staff by phone or email.

Description

Families are the unsung heroes out there, trying to support their loved family member, and we are the ones caring for them and helping them along that path.

Our family support workers offer confidential guidance and navigation through mental health services, advocacy and education, through individual/famiy meetings and/or a number of different programmes for both individuals and groups, plus support groups.

Our service covers Christchurch and the greater Canterbury Region. Supporting Families staff are also available to talk with you on the phone during working hours.
