Emerge Aotearoa provides a wide range of community-based mental health, addiction, disability support and social housing services nationwide. We were formed in 2015 following the merger of two established mental health providers, Richmond Services and Recovery Solutions. We took the best thoughts, principles, and practices from both of these organisations to create a new organisation that would deliver the best possible outcomes, and be influenced and lead by the people who use our services.

Emerge Aotearoa employs approximately 1000 people, provides accommodation and support services to approximately 6000 people. We believe that everyone is capable of living full and rich lives in their communities.

Taking the best of our historical practices we have created an organisation led by the needs of people who use our services - tangata whaiora - and their families/whanau and communities.
