What We Do

Care Centre

Dayspring Care Centre offers a regular meeting place for people who have been through crisis. Whatever the cause - health, marriage or family breakdown - people from all walks of life can find endless friendship and support ... with bottomless tea and coffee.

Our crèche means parents and caregivers can attend our programmes. We also provide free transport twice a week, along with the cheapest nearly-new clothing in Auckland.

Open every week day – office hours are Mon – Fri. 9.00 am – 3.00 pm.

Community Mental Health Services:

Friendly, professional support for women 18-65, whose lives has been disrupted for six months or more by a recognised psychiatric or drug/alcohol-related disability.

Supported Landlord Services

Dayspring operates two safe, clean homes, where women can live and be supported through mental health challenges. Under certain circumstances we can also support women with babies and preschoolers.

Women live as tenants and flatmates in our two furnished, low-key homes. They are expected to care for themselves and their property, while working together with others, sharing the chores.

Tenants sign a contract committing themselves to keep their Dayspring home completely free of alcohol and drugs.

Mental Health Community Support Service:

We are here to support women through their mental health challenges, in their own homes.

They are living independently, not necessarily alone, but find themselves unable to stay in work. Their relationships with family, whanau and friends are breaking down.

Our caring, professional staff are here to help:

• Advocacy
• Doctors & WINZ visits
  
• Life skill courses
  
• Budgeting
  
• Personal Plans
  
• Accessing available services
  
• Ongoing support
