Referral Process
Ngāti Kahu Social and Health Services provide support to primary and secondary health services and so essentially referrals that are made to us are from Child Youth Mental Health and or Adult Mental Health Services. Our role is to work with who make referrals to ensure we develop a plan with our whaiora so that they are supported in the community. In addition, we are able to receive self referrals where we will complete the relevant assessment to assess what services need to be engaged.

Our mahi encompasses a range of community services to help whānau deal with issues that are of concern to them. In the Kaupapa Māori framework, relationships are built on mutual trust, respect, and whānaungatanga which is why we will help you navigate, advocate and support you either in the justice system, with non-government and government services, employment, housing, education, social and health services.
