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.
