Te Hauora Hinengaro

Course code 73225

This course is for those who are, or will be, working in the mental health and wellbeing area with Māori.

You are required to identify and critically review the integration and impact of cultural values that inform current understandings of mental health and wellbeing at three levels: personal; discipline (e.g. mental health and psychology); and societal.

The course introduces you to Māori understandings and models of health, and the professional and legislative parameters when working with Māori in health contexts.

You will be required to demonstrate your learning by critically reflecting on your own cultural competence and safety when working with Māori and Māori mental health.
