Around one in three New Zealanders has experienced mental distress. Rates are higher among Māori, young adults and members of the rainbow community.
Anxiety, depression, mood disorders, addiction and bipolar disorder are among the most common mental health issues – and we’re here to help. The experts working in our mental health consultation services team will listen to you and come up with a plan for treatment.
