Our office will close for the Christmas/ New Year break on Tuesday 20 December at 3.30pm and reopen on Monday 9 January 2023 at 9.30am. We’re all connected That’s why the CAB service is so important. We act as a critical community hub, connecting people with the information and services they need. We provide the warmth and welcome of a place where anyone can come to talk about, and get help with, any issue. The CAB service includes in-depth interviewing of a client to identify what is happening for them or what information they seek, and to find out what they’ve done so far. The trained volunteer researches options specific to each client’s situation and then explains these to the client in a way that helps them understand and work out what they want to do next. Our bureau has an extensive, reliable and accurate database of local and national information at our fingertips, which is updated regularly, along with pamphlets and booklets.
Language Support If English isn’t your first language, we have an internal Language Support service to make it easier for clients to access the language skills of CAB volunteers across the country. Our intranet enables one of our volunteers to see others around the country who are available to assist a client in another language. Currently, we are able to support more than 30 languages using this service.
Get in touch Do come and see us. We’re trained to listen and to research. We’ll deal with anything that’s concerning you no matter how big or how small. We’re here to help. Our opening hours are 9.30am to 3.30pm, Monday to Friday. You’ll find us at 209 High Street, Rangiora, or you can phone us on 03 313 8822 or 0800 367 222, or send us an email

North Canterbury
Comcare Trust is a recovery focused organisation that provides free Mental health and addiction services in the Waimakariri and Hurunui Districts for people with diagnosed mental illness and/or addiction issues.
Comcare North Canterbury provide three valuable support services, offering Peer Support, Activelinks, and Community Mental Health Support. Support staff use a strengths-based approach to empower people to lead their own recovery journey. Peer Support uses shared experiences to support people one to one with understanding of what is happening and discovering how they can move forward. People can be referred by a health care professional, community organisations, or self-refer for this support via the generic referral on our website.
ActiveLinks encourages exploration of mental and physical wellbeing through exercise one to one and in groups. People can be referred by a health care professional, community organisations, or self-refer for this support via the generic referral on our website.
Community Mental Health Support guides people towards independence using a holistic goal-based approach. Accessible via a ‘CAP’ referral form by a Mental Health Provider or GP. Please reach out and get in touch if you or someone you know is experiencing mental health or addiction challenges and would benefit from our support.

Peer Support North Canterbury
Peer Support
Comcare’s Peer Support Service supports people, through shared experience, to make sense of what is happening for them and how they want to move forward. Peer Supporters in North Canterbury can meet regularly to provide one to one in person support as a fully mobile service within the Waimakariri and Hurunui districts.
Peer Support helps people to understand each other because they’ve ‘been there’, shared similar experiences, and can model for each other a willingness to learn and grow. In Peer Support, people come together with the intention of changing unhelpful patterns and getting out of ’stuck’ places. It can help to build relationships that are respectful, mutually responsible, and potentially transformative, while feeling safe and accepting. Promoting a ‘trauma-informed’ way of relating to ourselves, Peer Support pushes us to move towards. It focuses on what and where we want to be, rather than focussing on what we need to stop doing.
Referrals
Peer Support is for anyone aged 18+ who is experiencing mental distress and/or addictions. People can self-refer, be referred by SMHS, their GP or other community services. Visit www.comcare.org.nz/generic-referral to complete a referral. For Peer Support, select “Support to understand how my mental health or addiction impacts me” or “Support to understand my barriers to moving forward” from the What support is required field.
