CADS Counselling Services operate from units in North, Central, West and South Auckland, and the CADS Abstinence Programme (formerly CADS Mt Eden) is in Point Chevalier. The service offers groups as well as individual counselling, and is also available at various satellite sites throughout the Auckland Region.
If you are looking for information or help for an alcohol or drug issue, for yourself or anybody else, then take that first step and give us a confidential call on 09 845 1818 or just drop into one of our clinics.
]]>Healthline has three main functions.
Healthline is staffed by experienced registered nurses who provide health information and recommend appropriate care for callers with symptoms.
All Healthline nurses have telenursing training and work within the Nursing Council’s Professional Standards for Telenursing Practice.
The nurses use their clinical experience and a sophisticated, internationally approved electronic clinical decision support system to advise the most appropriate level of care for callers.
Interpreter services are available if required.
The nurses have access to an extensive database of health providers to refer callers to. They can also tell callers where to find their nearest GP after-hours service, hospital emergency department, pharmacy or out-of-hours dental surgery.
]]>Kidsline operates from 4pm to 6pm Monday through to Friday. When kids ring they will speak to a Kidsline Buddy – a specially trained teenage telephone counsellor.
Kidsline is uniquely about kids being there for other kids – they are the only national child helpline in the world where every counsellor is a secondary school student.
