Description

Programmes such as Te Rau Puawai and Te Rau Matatini have likewise contributed to the Māori Mental HealthWorkforce, by actively encouraging more Māori to consider a career in Mental Health. Rather than focus on a narrow range of core disciplines these programmes have recognised the need for active and broad Māori involvement within the sector – more psychiatrist and psychologists, but also health managers, support staff, midwives, social workers and nurses.Cultural activities, processes, or interventions are ultimately designed to improve treatment responsiveness and health outcomes.
