Equitable Access to Wellbeing - Dual Disability Mental Health Services Hui
As a group, people with intellectual disabilities experience higher rates of mental health challenges. To support these people and their whānau, New Zealand has a number of regional dual disability mental health services (both forensic and non-forensic).
On Thursday 25 and Friday 26 May 2023, the Te Pou Equitable Access to Wellbeing team brought together the dual disability mental health specialist services from across Aotearoa.
This was the second session for this group (the first was held in December 2022) and it was an opportunity to bring colleagues together, discuss the Whaikaha-sponsored Equitable Access to Wellbeing framework, and establish a community of practice that will endure.
