Welcome to the Balance Aotearoa Website

Balance NZ and Balance Whanganui are merging to become Balance Aotearoa. We have taken this decision to ensure the ongoing sustainability of our respective organisations so that we can continue to contribute to the mental health and addictions sector as a peer-led organisation.
All the things that Balance NZ currently does will remain in place i.e. peer led workshops, the online forums and our participation as a Disabled Person’s Organisation.

The main change is for those people who are members of Balance NZ as your membership of Balance NZ which will now become null and void. This means you will need to apply to become a member of Balance Aotearoa should you wish to.

If you have an queries or concerns please email us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or telephone 06 345 4488

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Welcome to the Balance NZ Website

Balance NZ is a charitable trust that makes a difference in the lives of those affected by mental health issues. If this is your first visit you may like to have a look through the menus to get a feel for what the site and the network can offer you.

Balance NZ is continuously evolving in our understandings of mental health and addiction issues and also the things which truly support mental and physical well-being, recovery and resilience.

As we evolve, one of the obvious outcomes is an increasing interest in the power of language to determine our ways of thinking about and responding to all of above.

Words are powerful things. They can hurt and heal, persuade and negate. Words and the language they make up do things, make things happen, and as creatures that rely on language we make words work to our own ends. It is language that makes it possible for us to think certain things and not others and the meanings we attach to words are not static: they change over time and in different circumstances.
