• High Demand for Thrive Services in Central Lakes, Otago and Southland

    Thrive has seen significant increase in the demand for support in Central Lakes, Otago and Southland this year. As a result, there is a delay in our ability to see clients for face-to-face appointments in these areas. If you require face-to-face counselling we will unfortunately not be able to see you now until mid to late January.


    Please note:

    • Clients in Otago, Southland and Central Lakes who are open to phone or video (telehealth) sessions may be able to be seen before the end of the year. If this option suits, please indicate this on the referral form or call us to advise.
    • South Canterbury is currently unaffected. 
    • Thrive prioritises clients with urgent needs. Please include any significant issues on the referral that may mean an earlier appointment is needed.

Thrive te pae ora is a fully funded professional counselling service provided by ADL Limited, for young people (rangatahi) aged 12 to 24 and their family (whānau) living in the lower South Island. This can be accessed via face to face as well as online and telephone counselling. It’s safe, non-judgemental and completely confidential. If you're experiencing some difficulties with mental health or substance use, then we may be able to support you.
