The Centre for Mental Health Research has been formed in response to a growing
demand for high quality research in the field of mental health and addictions.
It seeks to be a national and international centre of excellence in mental
health research, policy and service development. This includes the need for high
quality research that will contribute to better outcomes for service users
through the planning, monitoring and evaluation of mental health and addictions
services.
The centre aims to work in partnership with mental health service users and
other stakeholders to conduct and support mental health research that:
- Contributes to our understanding of mental health and addictions and its impact
on indiviudals, whanau and the wider community.
- Reduces discrimination towards people experiencing mental health problems.
- Facilitates effective mental health care delivery.
- Improves the mental health and well being of all New Zealanders.
