Mission

Welcome to CHAMP.   We developed this website as a tool not only for members of CHAMP to share information, but also to encourage others to find out more about who we are and what we do in the Mental Health and Addictions sector. 

By sharing information and creating connections we hope to build stronger partnerships that will improve the health and wellbeing of our people and communities. 

Counties Manukau Mental Health and Addiction Providers (CHAMP) is a partnership group representing NGOs and clinical provider services in the mental health and addictions sector working across the Counties Manukau region. This group has allowed for collaborative solutions to share and resolve issues since its inception in 2003. The structure is based on a non-legal and non-binding agreement to cooperate with all members to promote the coordinated, effective, efficient delivery of services to meet the needs of service users. It is recognised that all parties retain their own legal structure and independence and that participation in the work and activities of this Group is voluntary.
