Pegasus Health (Charitable) Ltd is opening a new
Mental Health Hub on Cranford Street on Friday 14 October,
2022.
The building will house mental health
clinicians providing Rongoā Kōrerorero | Talking Therapy
to patients who have been referred by their Pegasus Health
GP.
The location of this hub will enable
improved access to mental health support for people living
in the North and Northwest of Ōtautahi Christchurch.
Pegasus Health Service Manager, Primary Mental Health, Karl
Belcher, is pleased to have found a location for the service
that reflects the kaupapa (principles) of the
service.
“We spent a lot of time looking for a
site that fits the community and is vibrant and welcoming.
It doesn’t feel clinical, but is a space that is warm.,
caring, nurturing and reflects the concept of manaakitanga
(respect) and whanaungatanga (connection),” Karl said. The
building will be officially opened with a blessing by local
hapū.
“We’re privileged to have a blessing
of the building. It’s a great way for us to open up that
space, connect with the community and set the scene for us
as a service,” Karl
said.
