Mental Health in New Zealand

Tracey from Kilbirnie

Mental Health in Wellington - well there isn't any! I have battled for months to get help for a person very close to me. NOBODY seems to be interested. I have contacted Te Haika (absolutely useless), Mental Health and Addiction Services (again, no help), Atareira Mental Health Support (again, no help). Finally rang the Police today and they took this person away. Have heard nothing. What are you supposed to do? Wait until someone is murdered. This system needs to change. If anyone has any suggestions or CAN HELP please let me know. A woman was murdered recently by her mentally ill son. There must be something someone can do expect ring the Police who really really don't understand mental illness.
