Te Whatu Ora I Te Toka Tumai has four adult community mental health centres: Manaaki House (Panmure), Cornwall House (Greenlane), Taylor Centre (Ponsonby) and Kainga Tiaki (Mt Eden).

The community mental health teams provide a comprehensive range of therapeutic treatment options in collaboration with service users, their families, whānau and local communities.
