About Us

Our Mission Statement

To strive for a highly collaborative approach between patient, primary care and specialist care.
To provide high quality, accessible, and efficient mental health assessments, diagnoses and treatment plans.
To educate all levels of health professionals in the assessment and care of mental health issues in New Zealand.

At The Anam Cara Institute, we work exclusively with partnered organizations to ensure a seamless and coordinated care experience. Patients cannot sign up independently; instead, they must be referred by one of our partnered organisations.
Once a referral is accepted, patients will receive an email invitation to join our program and begin their journey towards improved mental health. Our approach combines compassionate care with the latest in mental health research and education, ensuring that both our patients and the professionals we train receive the best possible support. Thank you for considering The Anam Cara Institute as your partner in mental health and professional development.
