What we offer​

Family Link supports whānau who are over 18 years of age who have a loved one experiencing mental health or addiction challenges, or who are neurodivergent (e.g., ADHD or Autism). 

​

Our support is free and shaped by what whānau tell us matters most. We adapt our approach to suit each person and situation — because one size never fits all.

​​

In practice, this means we offer:

• A safe and confidential space for whānau voices to be heard. We can meet at our office, online (Zoom or Teams), by phone, at your home, or at another space that feels right for you.

• Education and resources to help you better understand your loved one’s mental health or addiction challenges.

• Practical tools and strategies to strengthen connection and communication within your whānau — including learning about boundaries and self-care.

• Support for whānau when engaging with mental health and addiction services.

• Advice on how to access community mental health supports and other available services.

• Support with prioritising your own well-being and self-care. ​
