Kites.org.nz

Our purpose is to increase the active participation of people experiencing mental illness in the community. Our unique contribution is to seize opportunities, transform ideas and problems to create systemic change in services, systems and the behavior in our communities.

There was an old way of doing things and there is a new way of doing things. Sometimes its too hard to change existing structures and organizational practices. Kites emerged, with a fresh culture and relatively unencumbered with the baggage of the past. Kites philosophy is to look for reasons why things can be done better, rather than why things 'cant be done.'

We are proud to say that Kites is
not an acronym, our name reflects
the concept of flying ideas
