Faletoa Services (Pacific Clinical Cultural Liaison Services)

Secondary service. Referred by GP or other clinician. We provide support and advice for Pacific people who are experiencing mental distress. We believe that when there is an imbalance or disconnect in one of the main relationships (Atua, Tagata and Laufanua) this may impact a person’s mental health and wellbeing.  You may be hearing voices, you may feel like people are watching or talking about you, you may have difficulty concentrating, amongst other things. If you are experiencing some of these signs of unwellness please go and see your GP as soon as possible.

Where Will You See Us?

Our clinics are located at Matariki, 492 Great South Road, Otahuhu.

How Do We Help?

Once you are referred to our service a coordinator (who may be a nurse, social worker or occupational therapist) will meet with you to discuss ways we can help support you and your family.  You may also need the support of our psychologist for talking therapies or a peer support specialist, who are members of our team with lived experience of mental health concerns.

All our staff work together to ensure that your physical, mental, social and spiritual needs are in balance so that your GP can provide ongoing care and support for your mental wellbeing.

If you would like to talk to someone with lived experience of mental health and or addictions contact our Peer TALK phoneline on 0800 234 432. This phoneline operates between 5pm and Midnight, seven days a week, and will connect you with a trained peer support worker who will listen to your experience and help you access further help if needed. Note: Peer Talk supports adults over 18. If you are under 18 contact Youthline on 0800 37 66 33.

Need Immediate Help?

For urgent after-hours support please contact 0800 775 222, or phone (09) 270 9090 any time.

If you are having suicidal thoughts, or are worried about someone, there is help available. For more information please visit the Mental Health Foundation – In Crisis?, or in case of emergency call 111.
