Description
CBCT provides a range of residential and support services for children, young people and adults living with mental health issues and/or a disability. This support is provided in a variety of settings to meet the needs of the individual and their family/whānau.
CBCT is a well-established provider known for working collaboratively with other agencies and finding creative and innovative ways to meet challenging and complex needs.
CBCT works with individuals in a goal-focused way to identify areas which impact on their wellbeing and independence in the community and supports them to achieve their full potential.
History
CBCT (Corstorphine Baptist Community Trust) has been providing mental health support services in Dunedin since 1974. It began as the Villa 3 scheme taking people from Cherry Farm Hospital and providing group homes in the community. Historically services were delivered from the Corstorphine Baptist Church Hall (hence the organisation’s name), but the organisation has always been non-denominational.
Over time, CBCT has expanded from primarily adult mental health services to also include services for those with a disability, as well as child and youth services.
CBCT's Aim
CBCT’s aim is to maximise the strengths of people who are experiencing difficulties in their lives as a result of mental health issues and/or disability and to promote wellbeing in all aspects of their lives.
CBCT’s Philosophy
CBCT’s services are designed and implemented according to the following principles:
- The inherent value of all people.
- The rights and obligations of service users to participate as an integral part of all service planning, provision and evaluation.
- The rights of people affected by mental health issues and/or disability to live within the community.
- A commitment to the principles of partnership, participation and protection as encompassed within Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

CBCT offers an adult community support service to individuals over the age of 18 who are experiencing mental health issues. Support Workers work alongside service users to assist them in achieving their goals, including things such as: Managing wellness by understanding the signs and symptoms experienced when becoming unwell or distressed. Sharing information about services and resources available. Identifying and getting involved with activities that are meaningful. Learning new coping skills. Helping with planning, daily living skills and goals. Providing support to access and attend appointments. Peer Support CBCT has peer support workers who are available to provide peer support to adult service users. Peer support workers have their own experience of mental distress and they work as peers alongside the service user – not as experts. Peer support workers form relationships with service users and their work focuses on the relationship between the two people. Both people can give help and support to each other, share their knowledge and beliefs and experience different ways of relating to other people. The peer support service at CBCT is based on an international model called Intentional Peer Support (IPS) and all CBCT peer support workers are fully trained in this model.
