Ke Tatala Mental Health Service

!!Kindly note that this service is NOT an Emergency Service!! Ke Tatala is a Pacific-led primary mental health and addiction service, offering a culturally safe and confidential talanoa space with experienced professionals.

Welcome to Ke Tatala Mental Health Service*

Ke Tatala service offers a nurturing and supportive environment where individuals and families from the community who might be experiencing challenges and stresses can share their personal stories and enhance their mental wellbeing. Our Pasifika-centered service provides a Pasifika informed approach to create a safe space for respectful and confidential Talanoa (conversations) with experienced mental health professionals.

The Mental Health Aere Mai Coordinator will warmly welcome you to the service and talanoa with you about your strengths and challenges as well as assessing with you the next steps of your journey. The journey might take you to other services outside of the organization or it might offer possibilities of connecting with people within Pacific Trust Otago.

Ke Tatala service also offers the opportunity to link with a mental health clinician who would further assess with you the most appropriate ways of supporting you in an ongoing way. Our offerings include individual, family, and group sessions, ensuring tailored support for every unique situation.

Join us at the Ke Tatala service, where we stand by you and your loved ones, providing guidance and support every step of the way.

*Ke Tatala comes from the Tongan saying, “Ke tatala e pulonga,” which means "Lift the dark clouds.” Ke tatala can be translated as “to lift or to peel back”.
