New Zealand families need our support now more than ever.
The need for our support services has grown during Covid-19, as whānau have been forced to be together for longer than usual periods and have had to adjust to the ‘new normal’ of daily life.
- Whānau are saying the stress and anxiety levels of their unwell family members, particularly young people living at home, have increased curing Covid-19.
- As the impacts of Covid-19 continue and people’s ability to cope is reduced further, our services will be required even more.

We want New Zealand whānau to thrive.
Will you help us?
We have been providing family mental health support services in New Zealand for 40 years and we are mostly reliant on local area District Health Board (DHB) funding.
Part of our vision for the future is that we take the services we know work well and develop them further, so we can reach more families in need and throughout New Zealand.
We want our family mental health support services to:
- Become available nationwide
- Meet the needs of all of New Zealand’s diverse whanau and communities
- Meet the increasing demand from families for our support
To do this, we need your help.

It can be difficult knowing what to say to children and how to support them as they try to cope with whanau mental health challenges.
Without accurate information and support, children will reach their own conclusions about mental illness. They might feel scared, isolated and confused, but it doesn’t have to be that way.
Our CUMI programme helps children get the support and encouragement they need to build their resilience, cope better and thrive.
