This service is provided for families and whanau that have a loved one whose life has been affected by mental health issues. Supporting Families Peer Support offers families/whanau hope and encouragement to deal with the many challenges they may encounter. A Peer Support Worker is someone who has a personal experience of this situation. They are interested in offering support, empathic listening and sharing.

Families and whanau often experience grief, isolation, powerlessness and fear as they witness their loved one sometimes struggling with mental health issues. People with mental health challenges do not become unwell in isolation. Their families, extended whanau and significant others cannot escape being affected by the situation.
