Network North Coalition

The main focus of Network North Coalition is to ensure regional consistency in planning, based on what we consider to work best in achieving positive outcomes for people who use mental health services. The collective function is to improve mental health outcomes across the Northern region by improving the quality of mental health and addiction services through the following activities:

Advising on planning and funding of mental health and addiction services
Undertaking projects to improve services across the region
Communicating with key stakeholder groups
Advocating on behalf of mental health and addiction services

Network North Coalition has achieved this by meeting regularly to better develop the provision and delivery of services across the northern region. The group has developed the Northern Region Mental Health and Addiction Services Strategic Direction, 2005 - 2010 in conjunction with the Northern DHB Support Agency. This Key document has shaped the way forward for service enhancement and development.
