Nau mai haere mai ki te pae tukutuku o Kites Trust. He tuku mihi tenei ki a koutou mo o koutou āro ki o mātou mahi.

Kites Trust was established in 2000 became a registered charitable trust in 2004 and gained accreditation from the Quality Improvement Council in 2009.

We work to ensure people who experience mental health/addiction problems have equal opportunities as all citizens to live, work and participate in the community.

Our core belief is that consumer leadership is the key mechanism to achieve social inclusion for people who experience mental health problems.

Our involvement includes:

Seeking the views of people who experience mental health problems
Facilitation, training and Education
Evaluation
Researching, trialling and supporting new initiatives
Skill and knowledge sharing

We seek to work in partnership with a range of government, community and consumer organisations and individuals. Kites has formal Memoranda of Understanding with Wellington region based consumer led advocacy and networking services, Kapiti Choices, Oasis Network, along with New Zealand College of Mental Health Nurses Inc- Te Ao Maramatanga.

Kites is about developing and testing new and innovative ways of working and our name reflects the concept of flying ideas.
