Led by the Wise Group Trust Board each entity in the Wise Group whānau was created by the group to respond to an identified need or systems gap in the delivery of mental health, addiction and wellbeing services in the community. What sets us apart is our ability to work collaboratively and courageously, sharing knowledge and expertise across the many areas in which we operate. At the heart of everything we do is a deep belief in social justice and equity, backed by an absolute passion and desire to improve people’s lives, every day, everywhere. We are a whānau of community organisations operating across Aotearoa New Zealand, employing over 1,500 people who share a passion and determination to make a difference. The Wise Trust was created in 1989 – but we weren’t called the Wise Trust back then. We had one organisation, one employee and a dream to help people with mental illness live happier, healthier and more fulfilling lives. At the Wise Group, we understand that to achieve equity for all, and in particular people experiencing mental health and addiction challenges, we must listen deeply to understand and meet the needs of local communities, whānau and the people who engage with our services. Together, we can create a world where everyone has access to the support they need to live well and realise their potential.
Target customer: Individuals and families in need of mental health, addiction, housing, and employment support; healthcare providers; community organisations.
