AFS Public Health Work

Health promotion work is an important part of the Asian Family Services team. Our main purpose is to raise awareness about the harms of gambling within Asian communities and to support positive change among those affected by gambling problems.

AFS Clinical Services

Asian Family Services (AFS) provides professional, culturally appropriate mental health and addiction support for Asian communities in Aotearoa, with a strong focus on gambling harm and co-existing issues such as anxiety, depression, and family conflict. Our qualified clinicians offer individual, couple, and family counselling, as well as group therapy sessions. Services are confidential and available in multiple Asian languages, promoting holistic wellbeing through a culturally responsive, client-centered approach.

Kia Ora Ake

The Kia Ora Ake (KOA) team is a welcoming and energetic team who continuously strive to empower the young generation. The team works in schools around East and South Auckland providing programmes to tamariki (children) to provide wellbeing support through psychoeducation, purposeful activities and games. These programmes, which are tailored towards the needs of the tamariki, are developed by a mix of clinical and peer support expertise which is aimed to help equip tamariki with the skills and tools needed to build self-mastery, and resilience. After completing the first term, much positive feedback has been received from schools and parents such as students becoming more confident, not only in social settings, but also within themselves. Other outcomes have also been positive improvement at home and utilizing the skills they have used outside the group environment.
