Mental Health
Triage Services
Receiving referrals from our
partner general practices, schools,
organisations or directly from
patients and whānau, our in-house
Primary Mental Health Triage
Service provides interventions
and further referrals to a variety
of services and resources
including Kaupapa Māori services,
social services, counsellors,
psychologists and others.
This year we introduced a tailored
approach for youth, including
the triage partner, youth clinician
and youth worker, to ensure
appropriate levels of care.
In August 2023 we launched
a Virtual Mental Health triage
service to 昀椀ve of our partner
general practices currently
without Health Improvement
Practitioners or Health Coaches
in place. Patients are triaged and
referred to our Primary Mental
Health Service as required.
