New Mental Health Line for Counties Manukau
Staffed by skilled and experienced mental health professionals, this service
will operate during the 'after hours' period (5.00pm - 8.00am weekdays, plus
24/7 weekends and public holidays) and will ensure that clients, their
families, other agencies and the community have enhanced access to mental
health services during this period.
At 5pm on Monday 18 February 2008 the service commenced. Mental Health
clients can assess this new service by simply calling their current Community
Mental Health Centre or Specialist Service. From here they will have the
capacity to connect to Mental Health Line.
