Overview

Health NZ is seeking registrations of interest from organisations to deliver Crisis Recovery Cafés in Te Ikaroa Central and Te Waipounamu regions.

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 Hawke’s Bay, Whanganui, Hutt Valley (Te Ikaroa Central Region), Christchurch, and Dunedin (Te Waiopunamu Region) to:

* deliver a completely new Crisis Recovery Café service; or
* extend current services to include the Crisis Recovery Café requirements.

We need a peer-led Crisis Recovery Cafe service that is grounded in peer values and principles, acknowledging that peer support is both a philosophy and a conscious practice, that arises from people with their own lived experience, providing support and services to others.

We also need a provider who understands the importance of ensuring this service is accessible, especially for those with disabilities, and most importantly, supportive for all cultures, especially Māori who experience higher rates of inequity.  Providers who are interested in this opportunity must have strong connections to their communities.
