After Hours Support Hub
After hours drop-in support for mental health, addiction or other life challenges
The After Hours Support Hub is a welcoming, safe place where you can connect with Peer Support Specialists who have their own lived experience of navigating life challenges, including mental distress, alcohol or other drugs.
It’s a place to take some time out. Whether you’re having a tough day, looking for someone to talk to, or supporting someone you care about, you’re welcome here.
Peers will be on hand for a chat and to help identify next steps if needed.

“Here they listen, I’ve been needing to let it out, I’ve had a lot of anger and stress. I’ve needed advice and to explain how I’m feeling.”

Everyone is welcome at our After Hours Support Hub.
We offer a space for people navigating life challenges who may need a safe, warm place to receive support, or to connect and feel less isolated. Whānau and friends supporting loved ones are also welcome to drop in for support.

No appointment or referral is needed. Simply pop in and see us when we are open over the weekend. We can organise additional support for you if needed.

There are peer support workers you can talk to if you want to, who have their own experience of navigating life’s challenges including mental distress and addiction. We offer hot drinks and snacks. It is a safe space to relax and connect with others.
“It’s what the word ‘peer’ represents. They’re people that you know well that you can talk to in confidence without it leaking out. It feels like someone I’ve known for years.”
