Māori health providers prepare to expand services

Thousands are set to benefit from a collective of Māori health providers rolling out an indigenous approach to mental health and addictions services.

There have been consistent calls for increased resourcing for Māori health providers to provide a different approach to mental health services.

The government recently announced a three year contract to a collective of Māori providers in the Tainui waka region, where a week long wānanga training 47 kaimahi is underway. 

Lady Tureiti Moxon from Te Kohao health has been at the wānanga and speaks to Māni Dunlop.
