4worldlovers: To achieve a world leading health service with people who have a mental illness and/or intellectual disability

Within the context of criminal offending. Our service excellence rests on the pillars of our knowledge,

We are one of New Zealand’s leading providers of forensic psychiatric care and are fast developing an international reputation for quality and innovation in our field.

Mason Clinic was created in response to the New Zealand Government inquiry into the care of mentally ill offenders. We provide an integrated forensic mental health service to the northern region’s courts, prisons and general mental health services.

Our inpatient services consist of seven forensic mental health inpatient units and an intellectual disability unit that assess, treat and assist in the recovery of people with mental illness or intellectual disability who have committed a criminal offence or are at high risk in the community.

Our teams are multi-disciplinary, multi-ethnic, close knit and very supportive of people’s recovery. We have an environment for staff to continue to learn and grow.

Our vision, mission and values are inclusive; founded on a therapeutic commitment to the patients, their family and the community. We are committed to both process and outcome quality, best evidence based practice, a management environment that is respectful of all staff and an ongoing learning environment.

Dr Krishna Pillai is the Clinical Director of Mason Clinic, Auckland Regional Forensic Psychiatry Services.

Mental illness is a clinically significant behaviour or psychological (to do with the mind) disorder that is associated with distress or disability. It is not just the way someone responds to a particular event nor is it limited to the way a person interacts with society.

A mental illness can continuously or intermittently (occasionally) affect our capacity for speech, language, mood, affect, thoughts, perceptions, insight, judgement, cognition (understanding) and volition (ability to make choices). It can limit our ability to function as society would normally expect of us and can put us and others at risk.

Mental illness is therefore, a broad term that covers problems ranging from minor to severe disorders.

A ‘psychiatrist’ is a doctor who, after basic medical qualifications, receives further training and develops the expertise to become a ‘specialist’ in identifying symptoms of, and diagnosing and treating, mental illnesses. You may have been referred to a psychiatrist if your doctor feels you need specialist help.

See below under 'Consultants' for the psychiatrists who work at Practice 92.

A psychologist is a non-medical specialist in the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness, abnormal behaviour and psychiatric problems. They provide psychological evaluation, assessment, testing and treatment for people experiencing mental or emotional problems. The psychologist can also reduce the psychological distress suffered by people who are adjusting to a medical diagnosis, recovering from surgery or managing pain and chronic illness as well as improve treatment outcomes (for example recovery after a heart attack or surgery).
