Dayspring Trusts Community Mental Health Services is for service users whose usual place of residence is within the Waitemata DHB district, covering Waitakere and North Shore Cities.
Supported Landlord Services
Dayspring operates a safe, clean home, 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 furnished, low-key home. 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 (focussing on maternal mental health) 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
