The Kari Centre is a secondary mental health service that provides support for moderate to severe mental health conditions that cause a significant impact on a child/young person’s (rangatahi) functioning. Our service is designed to help those who require a higher level of support than what can be provided by primary mental health services.

Koanga Tupu is a small team within the Kari Centre specialising in the assessment and treatment of infants (0-4). We accept referrals for emotional and/or behavioural problems that are outside what would be expected for a child’s age/developmental stage and that have not resolved with simple interventions. These might include concerns around anxiety, feeding, sleeping and/or behaviour. We also accept referrals where the children’s caregivers are experiencing significant difficulties in their relationship/s with their infant/young child. We work with whānau to understand their tamariki and the relationship they have with them. We then provide a safe supportive space for whānau and infants to explore this relationship and work towards overcoming the difficulties they are experiencing.
