Awhi Mātua | Mental Health Services for Older People
Awhi Mātua provides support to help older adults experiencing serious mental health problems reach their best possible function and wellness.
Our aim is to enable individuals to continue to live as independently and meaningfully as possible in the environment of their and their family’s choosing.
We generally work with people aged 65 years and over. We work with people who have long-standing or late-onset mental health problems and/or people with dementia complicated by serious behavioural and/or psychological symptoms.
Referrers - please see detailed service entry criteria included in the GP section.
