新西兰下哈特开设危机恢复咖啡馆：无需转介、同伴支持，10月30日起每周三至周六下午开放
新西兰心理健康部长 Matt Doocey 10月28日在惠灵顿地区下哈特市宣布，一家新的危机恢复咖啡馆 Te Kāhua Ora 当日正式开业，为需要心理健康或成瘾支持的人提供多一个去处；该咖啡馆10月30日（周五）起对外服务，初期开放时间为每周三至周六下午3时至晚上9时，其后将按社区需求检讨。
Doocey 说：「新的咖啡馆将提供一个安全、受欢迎的地方，人们可以与理解他们经历的人交谈，获得所需的支持。我们知道，繁忙的急诊室并不总是处于心理困扰中的人最合适的环境。新咖啡馆让人们无需转介就能获得有亲身经历者的支持，包括倡导服务，以及在需要时帮助对接其他服务。」他说，同伴主导的支持在全国推广已被证明是改变游戏规则的做法，各社区情况不同，一些最好的方案本就存在于基层组织之中，需要的只是支持。
该咖啡馆由在哈特谷与惠灵顿地区有30多年支持经验的 Te Paepae Ārahi 信托与 Kites 信托共同运营；Kites 信托已在惠灵顿医院急诊部提供同伴支持服务。Doocey 还表示，同伴支持专员也将进驻哈特医院急诊部，服务预计2027年初开始运行。
新西兰政府正在全国推广危机恢复咖啡馆模式，作为其改善危机响应、加快获得支持与增加一线人员的举措之一。
Lower Hutt Crisis Recovery Café Opens in New Zealand: Peer-Led Support Without Referral, From October 30
New Zealand's Mental Health Minister Matt Doocey announced in Lower Hutt, in the Wellington region, on October 28 that a new Crisis Recovery Café, Te Kāhua Ora, has officially opened, giving people who need mental health or addiction support another place to go. The café will open to the public on Friday, October 30, initially operating from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m., Wednesday to Saturday, with hours to be reviewed against community needs.
'The new Café, Te Kāhua Ora, will provide a safe, welcoming place where people can talk to someone who understands what they are going through and get the support they need,' Doocey said. 'We know a busy ED is not always the best environment for someone experiencing mental distress. The new café will give people another place to go, without needing a referral, where they can access support from people with their own lived experience, including advocacy and help connecting with other services if needed.' He said peer-led support being rolled out across the country has proved a gamechanger, and that some of the best solutions already exist within grassroots organisations and simply need backing.
The café will be delivered by Te Paepae Ārahi Trust, which has more than 30 years' experience supporting people across the Hutt Valley and wider Wellington region, working alongside Kites Trust, which already delivers the peer support service in Wellington Hospital's emergency department. Peer support specialists will also be introduced in Hutt Hospital's emergency department, with that service expected to be operating by early 2027.
Crisis Recovery Cafés are being rolled out across New Zealand as part of the government's work to deliver faster access to support, more frontline workers and a better crisis response.
