A Change For Better (ACFB) is a web-based platform for members of the public and mental health professionals alike. ACFB is a safe place to learn, interact, and gain support.
Recognizing that significant change can take time, ACFB provides members with tools and support to achieve sustainable change in their lives.
The ACFB Fund was born out of the idea that with power of community, we can create a self-sustainable means for those who need mental health support and psychological assessments. Funded by ACFB and private donations and assessment fees, the ACFB Fund hopes to grow to help as many Kiwis as possible.
A Change For Better – The ACFB Fund is a registered charity with Charities Services NZ
Charity Number: CC61221
If you are looking for autism related funding through NASC/ Whaikaha then this is not the assessment for you at this time.
Whaikaha have changed their minds after years of accepting telehealth diagnoses and have said our diagnoses no longer meet their long list of strict criteria. We will be providing support to those who already received a diagnosis with us but are not sure about going forward if we will continue the higher requirements now set forth by Whaikaha.
In the meantime, we are advocating to anyone and everyone who might be able to help us and would love your support as well. Please make a complaint. You can find more information on the Whaikaha website here.
