Access & Choice

Access & Choice is a nationwide initiative that aims to provide free mental health and addiction support in Aotearoa.

It has a particular focus on supporting people with mild to moderate needs.

validate Pasifika solutions that meet the needs of Pasifika communities

develop and deliver relevant trainings for Pasifika Access & Choice services

support existing and emerging workforces

support leadership and system change across the continuum of need.
