Stepping Stone Trust

Stepping Stone Trust (SST) was formed over 25 years ago, as a community ministry of South West Baptist Church. Originally offering a house those effected by mental illness could come to during the day to receive care and support, the Trust quickly moved to providing full residential services. Following this, community support services were added, to assist people transitioning back to independent living, or to support them to remain in their own home.

SST is now one of the largest mental health service providers in New Zealand. Each week, our services reach over 500 people in the Canterbury region.
