Our vision is an Aotearoa where all people are supported to be who and what they want to be. A society that better understands and responds to mental distress, addiction, and intellectual disability. We support people to live the life they choose and we challenge the barriers that hold them back.
Our services comprises support that span Community Support, Residential Support, Peer Support, Supported Employment and Consumer Network Support.

Peer Led Services
Peer Support is an important part of recovery. We provide a number of services that connect people seeking help with teams who have their own personal experiences of mental health trauma and recovery.
Vocational Services
We have two dedicated mobile teams of employment consultants serving the greater Auckland area.
High and Complex Needs
We offer a number of residential support services, which provide personalised care and rehabilitation for those who need it.
