DRIVE works to promote the consumer voice of people using Addiction and Mental Health Services in Counties Manukau, Aotearoa, New Zealand.
We do this by being a link and resource between consumers and service providers, by supporting research, the development of the peer workforce, and running hui and other events. If you would like to be on our mailing list to hear more about our work and keep up to date, please click here.
Counties Manukau has a vibrant and diverse population of over 500,000 people, with a strong Pasifika, Maaori and Asian peoples population. 24% of those in Counties Manukau are under the age of 14 years, with 14% of New Zealand Children living in the area[1]. Counties Manukau sometimes has the spotlight placed on it for poor health and wellbeing statistics, however, it is also a place of vibrant communities, wild beaches and strong leaders.
DRIVE itself does not provide mental health or addiction services, however, if you are having difficulties finding services, we may be able to put you in touch with those that can help you. You may also want to check out the services listed on our site.
