Update: Our community told us we need to make some changes. In response, we are improving the way mental health services work with you. We want to assure you we will talk with all service users and their whaanau about how changes might affect their care. If you have any questions please talk to your mental health clinician.
Counties Manukau Health Adult Mental Health provides specialist mental health services for adults living in the Counties Manukau region.
We support people with severe mental health concerns, along with their family/whaanau and community. Our goal is to assist people in finding their own path to recovery.
We serve individuals and families of all cultures living in the Counties Manukau Health area. We work closely with the community and supports involved in their care, ensuring the best support possible for service users and their whaanau.
