Yes, we were established by the Church of Scientology in 1969
\n\n
\n\nWe are an independent organisation and were proudly established in 1969 by the Church of Scientology and Professor of Psychiatry Dr. Thomas Szasz at a time when patients were being stripped of all constitutional, civil and human rights in institutions.
\n\n
\n\nWe are the only organisation in New Zealand doing what we do, and that's what sets us aside from others. We work with a dedicated team of professionals across all religious denominations including Doctors, some Psychiatrists, Lawyers, Scientists, Business Professionals, Artists, Human Rights representatives, Educators, Community Groups, Legislators, Mums and Dads, Youth and Volunteers, who all believe that
\n\n
\n\n'everyone has a basic human right to obtain safe and ethical mental health treatment.'
\n\n\n\n
Most importantly our service is free and not funded or bound to any governmental bodies.
