Formerly Supporting Families NZ, we’re Yellow Brick Road; a national organisation that provides mental health support for families who have a loved one experiencing mental health challenges. 

After 40 years of experience working with people around New Zealand, we know that if the family of a loved one experiencing mental distress are correctly supported and empowered, the path they walk leads to increased wellbeing for the whole whānau.

We will walk alongside any family in New Zealand who needs support, knowledge, advocacy and empowerment as they journey towards mental wellbeing.

If you are concerned about a family member experiencing mental health challenges, we can help you.

Yellow Brick Road is offering a series of free Wellbeing Webinars for
families and whānau to attend, to learn ways to cope better and thrive.
You can join all of them or just the one or two you think would be most helpful.

All you have to do is register and then sit back and watch and listen. Your
attendance is confidential and others won’t see you on the screen.

We have developed procedures to keep you and our staff as safe and well as possible.

We plan to have some staff onsite whenever we can. Our staff will comply with distancing, mask wearing, hygiene protocols, scanning and will stay home if they have any symptoms or are required to isolate.

Most support services will be delivered via phone or other technology such as “Zoom”.

Face-to-face face is only delivered with carefully scheduled appointments in our offices, and in accordance with correct procedures, as outlined in the link below.
