Alongside the resources for people and their whānau, Te Pou have developed a series of e-learning modules to support the workforce in application of the 2022 changes to the Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Act Guidelines.
The intent of the e-learning package is to support the workforce in adopting a person-centred, human-rights based approach to situations where the Act is used. In this series there are three e-learnings, the first e-learning is a general introduction to the changes for anyone in the health workforce, the second for the mental health workforce and the third for the specialist mental health workforce who administer the Act.
Below is a short instructional video on how to access the e-learnings.
