RASNZ is the primary mental health and wellbeing service for refugee background people living in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Our team of specialist clinicians offer a trauma-informed, culturally appropriate, holistic mental health service for adults and adolescents.

The clinical framework is scaffolded by a research team, a thriving youth service, a community engagement team, and a training and development team; all contributing to a safer resettlement process for our refugee background population.

Our nonsectarian, not-for-profit, charitable trust was established in 1995 and is funded by the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education, various philanthropic organisations, and individuals donations from the wider community.
