Karakan is an established mental health and disability support service provider with a rich history of working with people affected by mental health issues. We make a positive impact on their lives through empowerment and support. We work with people in the community to help them achieve their goals, build connections and aid their recovery journey. 

We are invested in helping people ‘Create their Tomorrow’.

Since 1972, Karakan, has been working with individuals whose lives have been impacted by mental illness, in particular ensuring people has access to suitable, affordable housing in the community.

That original focus on responding to particular difficulties and challenges in the lives of people who experience mental illness has evolved over the years towards a broader promotion of activities and supports that focus on enhancing a person’s mental health and wellbeing in the long term. Karakan now provides support to people with mental health challenges, disability, or both, working alongside people so that that they can focus on what is important to them whether that is developing life skills, finding and keeping a job or getting out and about.

Today, our services are based on a recovery paradigm, person-­centred principles, appreciative inquiry methodology, community engagement and human rights. Whilst we continue to evolve and grow as an organisation in response to individual needs and contemporary thinking about mental health and wellbeing, our purpose and core values of respect, partnership and hope have remained constant and have been the fundamental driver of our work.
