These services are for people living with mental illness who require support in relation to family and whānau, community living, education, employment and self management of their wellbeing. They are flexible mobile community based support services for people who are living independently but not necessarily alone in their community.

The Lighthouses are drop in centres in Napier and Hastings where clients can go Monday to Friday to meet others, take part in individual or group activities, access support and information and share lunch in the company of others. This is the longest running service at WIT and has been an important social connection for clients for over 20 years.

WIT provides a number of residential care services where clients live supported by our staff. These services are staffed 24/7 with different levels of staffing. In some situations clients live in their own units or flats while in others they share a dwelling. All WIT residential care services are tailored to the specific needs of our clients to ensure that they have the very best quality of life possible.

This service is run at our Lighthouse premises and clients take part in recovery programmes that are provided to enhance their lives and develop skills for independent living in the community. There are sport and recreation programmes, cooking, walking, art, music, fishing, networking and waka ama groups amongst others. Clients graduate from these programmes feeling more confident and independent.

WIT is also a Registered Social Housing Provider and provides social housing across Hawke's Bay to mental health and addiction clients. This means that we can ensure that our clients experiencing long and enduring mental health and addiction difficulties have affordable, warm, safe housing on a long term basis.

This service ensures that MH consumers across Hawkes Bay have appropriate support and advocacy when dealing with clinical services, legal issues, housing, benefit entitlements or any other issue that they might need assistance with. Our advocates can accompany clients to these forums and speak on their behalf if necessary. This is a service for individual MH consumers to access for assistance.
