Community Mental Health Centres (DHB)
Every DHB in NZ has a range of free, specialist Community Mental-Health Centres (CMHC) for different ages and groups. CMHCs provide access to multi-disciplinary teams of psychiatrists, psychologists, occupational therapists, nurses, and social workers. You can find details about your local CMHC in the front of your phone book and online. You usually need a referral from your GP to be referred to a CMHC. Every DHB has a family advisor and consumer advisors who can also provide support in connecting with DHB services, especially if you have a complaint.
