Te Ora Auaha
New Zealand is renowned worldwide for its Covid-19 response. What is less well-known beyond our borders is the national mental health crisis. He Ara Oranga: Report of the Government Inquiry into Mental Health and Addiction recommended transformative action was needed to support better mental health and wellbeing for all. The government has since invested $1.9 billion into mental wellbeing. To build on the 12-18 month Covid-19 Psychosocial and Mental Wellbeing Recover Plan (Kia Kaha), Ministry of Health has been consulting on a long-term pathway. Te Ora Auaha steering group member, Lucy D’aeth, Public Health Specialist, led the development of a submission to this consultation from ToA. The submission was one of 132 received by the Ministry of Health and we look forward to seeing the response in due course.
