Mental Health and Addiction services are changing so we can:

Support people within their local communities
Deliver modern, safe, high-quality, holistic care that meets people’s needs
Make the best use of our resources to achieve equitable health outcomes
Enable and support safe and rewarding places for people to work.

We will:

Work in partnership with Māori, honouring our commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
Provide opportunities to work with, and listen to Māori, Pacific peoples, people with lived experience, and disabled communities.
Ensure people are at the centre of the Programme, from initial planning through to implementation stages.
Draw on He Ara Oranga, Living Life Well, and other reports on the need to transform mental health and addiction services.
