Welcome to Ember Services

Ember Services blends professional expertise and lived experience to provide mental health, alcohol and other drug and intellectual disability support services throughout New Zealand’s north island.

Our vision is an Aotearoa where all people are supported to be who and what they want to be. A society that better understands and responds to mental distress, addiction, and intellectual disability. We support people to live the life they choose and we challenge the barriers that hold them back.
