Health New Zealand is seeking registrations of interest from organisations to deliver a Peer Support Crisis Recovery Cafe in the Tairāwhiti district.
The Crisis Recovery Café initiative will be implemented with allowance for continual improvement over the initial contract term. The service is to be peer-led, with a close relationship with local mental health and addiction services and clear protocols outlining the relationship with mental health and addiction crisis services.
We are seeking responses from service providers based in Tairāwhiti district to deliver a new, dedicated Peer Support Crisis Recovery Cafe service. This must be a peer-led service, grounded in peer support values and principles. Peer support is more than a role - it is a philosophy and intentional practice, where those with lived experience of mental distress and/or addiction provide meaningful support to others walking a similar path.
We are also looking for a provider who understands the need for equitable access particularly ensuring the service is inclusive and accessible for disabled people, culturally safe and responsive, with a strong emphasis on supporting priority groups, including Māori, Pacific and others who continue to experience disproportionate levels of inequity. Providers must also demonstrate deep, trusted connections within their communities.
This is an exciting opportunity for experienced staff and organisations to take on a new challenge - extending peer support leadership and growing the peer workforce across a broader, community-based setting in Tairāwhiti district.
The registration of interest closes at 12pm on Monday 19 May 2025 and must be submitted electronically via GETS.
