The document discusses the large unmet need for mental health services in New Zealand, noting that over 1.7 million people will experience a diagnosable mental illness in their lifetime but existing services would be overwhelmed if they all sought help. It proposes using cell phone technology and text messaging to provide drug and alcohol education to teenagers, who are at high risk but difficult to reach, as well as support services for mental health issues. Support for this proposal is expressed from groups involved in drug education, academia, and healthcare.
