All staff at Student Health are advocates for your health. You are welcome to come in to discuss any issues around your use of drugs and alcohol and their effect on your health and well-being. We will provide confidential, professional and unbiased assessment and brief intervention. We will also provide support in the co-ordination of further care if needed.
You can book an appointment with our mental health and well-being team to have a safe, non-judgemental, free consultation by contacting Student Health on 0800 479 821 (inside New Zealand).
