Budget 2022 allocates $202 million to further improve New Zealanders' access to mental health and addiction services. This Budget focuses on improving care for those who have the highest needs. We're investing $100 million to increase the availability of specialist mental health and addiction services and to strengthen existing services in targeted areas across the country. We're also continuing to invest in two programmes that support young people's mental health: Mana Ake, which provides mental wellbeing support for primary and intermediate school - aged students, and Piki, a pilot scheme which provides integrated mental health and addiction support for young people.
