Mana Ake : Community and Whānau Survey
Purpose:
Northland DHB have been asked to work with Primary and Intermediate Schools across Northland to assist in the co-design of pathways for the provision of mental wellbeing supports to children aged 5 – 12 years.
The mental health and wellbeing of children across New Zealand is a priority for this Government and the Ministry of Health.
Mana Ake provides a new approach to delivering additional mental health support for children in primary and intermediate schools across the Te Tai Tokerau region. Mana Ake seeks to provide holistic support through:
Direct support to children experiencing social, emotional or behavioural challenges
Clarification of local support pathways, making it easier for schools, teachers and whānau to access support when and where they need it.
Support for schools to make improvements to the school environment using the whole of school and classroom wellbeing programmes and wellbeing promotion
Service sector improvements by providing greater collaboration across Health, Education and social sector partners in the provision of support.
The co-design process will be initiated alongside key stakeholders in Te Tai Tokerau and consider how to best provide school based mental wellbeing supports.
Self-Assessment: To support us to better understand the needs you see in your community, we would like to invite you to participate in a self- assessment of what resources that you feel might add value to your local schools, tamariki, wider whānau and community.
