The 2019 — 2025 Mental Health and Addiction Strategy for the Wairarapa, Hutt Valley and Capital & Coast District Health Boards was published in 2019 after a significant amount of planning, consultation and discussion with stakeholders across the 3 DHBs.

The document titled ‘Living Life Well’, sets the direction for mental health and addiction care over the next 5 years. It aims to improve outcomes for our people, their whānau, and communities.

The strategy supports the complete continuum of care:

  • sustaining specialist mental health and addiction services
  • recognising we can do a better job of providing earlier intervention when things start to go wrong and
  • focusing our attention on those with inequitable health outcomes.
