Use of telehealth and digital tools to provide mental health support is increasing, however not all people can access these supports easily, a new report says.

In response to “Te Huringa: Change and Transformation. Mental Health Service and Addiction Service Monitoring Report 2022" industry body NZHIT is calling for the development of a national digital mental health and addictions support hub to ease pressure on the mental health and addictions system.
