This week at Balance Aotearoa

Happy FRI-YAY !

Although some of us are pumped for some weekend adventures and time off, for some people the weekend is isolating and lonely. Always remember to reach out to the people around you, regardless of what their life looks like on the outside. We all know masks are well tuned defence mechanisms !

And as always, Hope & Co. Whanganui is open this weekend 3-9pm each day 💙💛

Head on into Piki Ake or Saring Circle to end your week with a chance to share and learn in a group of people who get it

Don't forget that we have an ongoing survey available to give your feedback - good or bad, positive or negative - on the secondary mental health services here in Whanganui.

If you or your whānau have had any experience with the secondary mental health services here, please take some time to give us some feedback to share with them.
All answers are read by our Lived Experience Advisor and handled with care. Then passed on to the right people to ensure it is heard and something is done with it.

Secondary Services Include:

MHAHT (Mental Health Assessment and Home Treatment Team)
CMHT (Community Mental Health Team)
MICAMHAS (Maternal, Infant, Child, Adolescent Mental Health And Addiction Services)
AOD services (Alcohol and Other Drugs, Addictions Services)
Te Awhina Inpatient Unit
Stanford Forensic Inpatient Unit

Have your say here:

Feedback is given back to the services on a monthly basis and to specific kaimahi if and when needed.
