our story

We were established in 1991 as Community Service Trust Board to care for people in the community struggling with mental health illness. The trust was renamed Te Ara Hou in 1997 and then Equip in 2005. 


From operating as an extension of Windsor Park Baptist Church, we have grown so much as we now offer comprehensive services to help people who experience major mental health issues in the Auckland region.
