HE KŌRERO O TE KAITIAKITANGA - A MESSAGE FROM THE BOARD CHAIR Acknowledgement to those involved in our journey Without the knowledge, commitment and dedication demonstrated by great Māori leaders, the Māori health sector would be a lot different. Therefore it is fitting that acknowledgements are firstly given to the influential Māori health leaders who passed away this year. Ngā mihi mahana ki a Putiputi O Brien, Paraire Huata, Papa Huatahi rātou ko Erima Henare for your life-long dedication to making Aotearoa a healthier place for Māori. Ka hinga atu he tētēkura, ka aramai he tētēkura - As one fern frond dies, another is born to take its place. New and established partnerships have enabled the delivery of extensive programmes for enhancing clinical and cultural competency. The programmes created for Māori by Māori express improvement in the sector, as we continue toward our goal of being the centre of excellence for Māori workforce development. This is evident through rangatahi involvement with the creation of publications such as Hīkaka te Manawa. Developing the Māori mental health sector with knowledgeable leaders for the future is a primary focus. As Chair of the Board of Directors it is my role to ensure that our group have oversight into the business decisions, to provide opportunities for our people. Significant highlights It is with great honour that I present the Te Rau Matatini Annual Report. It is exciting to witness Te Rau Matatini thriving and continuing to provide opportunities for the Māori Mental Health and Addiction workforce.

16 Whakaahua 2 Professor Sir Mason Durie providing insight into Māori Health OUR WORKFORCE PROGRAMME FOR Māori Mental Health Hauora Hinengaro Māori Māori are disproportionally represented in Mental Health statistics. Due to the disproportionate use of services by Māori it is important to ensure health care and services are delivered appropriately within communities, and are effective. Te Rau Matatini is focused on strengthening Māori health leadership because it is essential in supporting health services and continuity of quality improvement of health care. Fostering Māori leadership is also important for ensuring the delivery Whānau Ora Framework The Whānau Ora Framework is an interagency approach to provide health and social services to build the capacity of all whānau in need. It empowers whānau as a whole rather than focusing separately on individual members and their difficulties. Enhancing the presence of Māori health leadership in influential areas through the Whānau Ora Framework, ensures the future development of effective services, underpinned by whakaaro Māori (Māori ideologies). of health care is culturally responsive for Māori within our communities. Therefore effective Māori health leadership and culturally responsive services are mechanisms to reduce the numbers of Māori tāngata whaiora. The Whānau Ora Approach document specific to Māori Mental Health and Addiction, contributes to the further development and implementation of Whānau Ora initiatives. This Framework was informed by the Whānau Ora Workforce: Te Rau Matatini is focused on increasing the number of Māori entering into the Mental Health and Addiction workforce; working alongside the Ministry of Health, Health Workforce New Zealand, District Health Boards and Non-Government organisations around the country. This ensures tailored A Literature Review coupled with advice provided through a collaborative approach; led by Te Rau Matatini and supported by Matua Raki, The Werry Centre, Te Pou o Te Whakaaro Nui and Le Va. programmes are available for the next wave of leaders in mental health. Te Rau Matatini has supported the Whānau Ora Framework, Te Hau Mārire and the Henry Rongomau Bennett Foundation and its scholarship programme to empower individuals, whānau, hapū and iwi to strengthen Māori health leadership. The document A Mental Health and Addiction Workforce Framework: A Whānau Ora Approach was launched at the National District Health Board Family / Whānau Advisors Annual National Hui 5 November, at Wellington Hospital. Since the launch, the Family / Whānau Advisors particularly from the 14 Te Rau Matatini Annual Report

17 Northern Region District Health Boards, have been supported by Te Rau Matatini to implement Whānau Ora as contributing to best practice when working with Māori. Henry Rongomau Bennett Foundation Leadership among Māori is an achievement which is always significantly celebrated as role models for Māori are important. The leadership experienced by Henry Rongomau Bennett Understanding best outcomes and implementing best practice for whānau involves knowing how whānau, hapū and iwi operate. The Whānau Ora Framework reflects this through the use of whakaaro Māori and expert advice, allowing the development of effective services to establish influential change. Te Hau Mārire Te Hau Mārire: Addiction Workforce Strategic Framework for people working with Māori experiencing addiction-related harm ( ), brings together the knowledge and experiences of Māori in the addiction treatment sector. This guides the development of a competent workforce that will contribute to the minimisation of addiction-related harm and achievement of Whānau Ora. is no exception. In early 2011, the Henry Rongomau Bennett Foundation was launched. The Foundation manages a range of programmes, including the scholarships, to meet the goals of developing leadership pathways for existing and emerging leaders, and facilitating Māori leadership networks in health. Utilising the HRB Foundation as a tool to foster and nurture new and current Māori leaders, guarantees the development of effective services in the future which appreciate how Māori understand, think and work. Working closely with the HRB Foundation to provide access to scholarships expresses the dedication to best outcomes and Whānau Ora for Māori. Henry Rongomau Bennett Scholarship Identifying that leadership among Māori is a mechanism to enhancing the lifestyle of all whānau, in 2001 the Henry Te Hau Mārire aims to be a comprehensive strategy which will enable the Addiction Workforce to flourish and grow in capacity and capability, while still maintaining diligence around remaining responsive to the needs of Māori with addictions. Te Hau Mārire recognises that Māori are the highest users of addiction services in Aotearoa, and as a result, the strategic framework advocates to ensure this population is provided with adequate services to assist in the reduction of addictionrelated harm. Rongomau Bennett (HRB) Scholarship Programme (named in honour of the first Māori psychiatrist) was established to encourage young Māori psychiatrists to continue their studies. In recognition of the concepts of mental health beyond psychiatry, the scope of the scholarship programme was extended. This included other mental health disciplines, such as psychology, nursing, addiction and public health. As the importance of Māori leadership in health was increasingly recognised, the Committee overseeing the HRB Scholarship On behalf of the Ministry of Health, the development of Te Hau Mārire is in collaboration with other influential members of the addiction treatment sector; Matua Raki, The National Addiction Workforce Programme, The Werry Centre for Child and Adolescent Mental Health, and Te Pou o te Whakaaro Nui. Te Rau Matatini would like to thank the respective organisations who released staff to attend meetings and teleconferences as part of the reference group. As past service users, family members, practitioners, and leaders in the addiction sector, the reference group brought a vast range of knowledge, skills and experience. Programme moved to align the scholarships to support the development of Māori leadership in the health sector. The Henry Rongomau Bennett Scholarship Programme has been a successful mechanism to increase the level of Māori participation across the Health sector. Recognising that this approach works for Māori, expresses the fundamental value of scholarships to develop new Māori leaders. The purpose of the scholarship is to develop and build Māori Leadership and excellence in health with competence in clinical aspects and Te Ao Māori matatini 15

22 HAUORA HINENGARO - MĀORI MENTAL HEALTH Whakaahua 7 Māori Mental Health nurses attending a workshop to discuss future innovations There is a disparity in health outcomes for Māori. Māori tāngata whaiora using mental health services are no different. Mental Health is one of the high priority areas for whānau and families around Aotearoa because the mental health of one member in the community can impact their wider whānau. Appropriate care and understanding of resources and services available for tāngata whaiora have been identified as mechanisms to improve health outcomes, and reduce health inequalities of Māori tāngata whaiora. Discussions were initiated with tāngata whaiora and whānau to develop important relationships to work in collaboration with the five Mental Health Workforce Development centres. This led to identifying priority areas in mental health which needed to be addressed within communities. A range of development and delivery resources and programmes for the community have been identified and supported. These include: Part A Workforce programme, Kia Pūmau te Oranga Wānanga, Hui-ā-Rohe, Tāngata Whaiora and Best Practice Framework. The overall aim of each programme is to provide tāngata whaiora with adequate support to achieve Whānau Ora and Pae Ora.

23 Kia Pūmau te Oranga wānanga In April, Ngāti Hine, Moe Milne, Tukaha Milne and Koha Aperahama delivered the Kia Pūmau te Oranga wānanga. This was held at Otiria Marae, Moerewa Northland. The wānanga was designed for both Māori and non-māori health professionals, and students to discuss the protection of lifelong well-being for our whānau and those experiencing mental illness and addiction. Developing Māori and non-māori health professionals to use and understand tikanga when working with Māori, ensures that service delivery is tailored for each whānau or tangata whaiora according to their requirements. Hui-ā-Rohe In understanding the workforce development requirements, as recognised by those working the front-line, Te Rau Matatini is able to advocate for and influence change in the Māori Mental Health sector. To determine what this valuable information is, a series of seven Māori Mental Health and Addiction forum were facilitated in Te Tai Tokerau, Tāmaki-Makau-Rau, Midlands, Manawatu, Te Whanganui-ā-Tara, Te Tau Ihu and Ōtautahi. Each hui provided great insight from the perspective of sector kaimahi, where they expressed their own experiences on how to facilitate change in workforce development, innovative ideas and concepts, as well as addressing any issues which came to The kōrero (discussion) during the three day wānanga included light. important topics such as: These hui were successful and the facilitators were able Pregnant māmā, pēpi and whānau The importance of physical activity to ones well-being utilising Te Ao Māori Mahi-ā-Atua to gather vast amounts of important data.

This in turn results in developing programmes dedicated to the enhancement of whānau, ensuring that best outcomes are identified and positively influence the future of the Māori health system. Developing the key areas identified by sector kaimahi will provide incentive for Māori who are contemplating on working in the Māori Mental Health sector. As those who contemplate entering the workforce are persuaded by new changes to the system, workforce numbers are increased with newly qualified kaimahi. This also reflects the retention rate of kaimahi, and reinforcing a strong succession strategy for the sector matatini 21

24 Tangata Whaiora A literature review has been completed on tāngata whaiora and chemical restraint techniques used on Māori during admittance into acute units. This review has highlighted what chemical restraint means in Aotearoa, and presents the limited attention given to the way medications such as Clozapine are foster therapeutic relationships with Māori, to reduce the use of seclusion techniques. This partnership is recognised as a means to influence change for whānau and communities. Continuing to work alongside Te Pou o te Whakaaro Nui as well as Te Ao Māramatanga will strengthen further the understanding of the seclusion and restraint work. used in the treatment of mental illnesses, and subsequent behaviours. Understanding that the negative side effects of Clozapine result in 30 years being reduced from a patient s life (taking into account that Māori already have a lower life expectancy rate than that of non-māori) working with sector Developing strong and trusting relationships in the sector to gain insight and understanding through kaimahi and other organisations is important for sharing and analysing data findings. This was expressed when Ngā Hau e Whā: partners to understand alternative approaches for Māori is a high priority. Māori are the highest users of Mental Health services in Aotearoa, strategies to reduce the instance of health professionals opting for chemical restraint as a primary restraint technique, as well as improving mental health professional competency with medication prescribing, management and monitoring; have been discussed with the Māori Pharmacists Association.

Participants A small study completed among Māori Mental Health Nurses employed in acute inpatient mental health units, in partnership with the Māori Caucus of Te Ao Māramatanga, is proving insightful. The study highlights strategies of Māori staff in acute mental health units applying traditional Māori approaches to attended from areas as far as Northland to Dunedin, with 80% of the participants having tāngata whaiora experience. Others who attended were whānau of loved ones with serious mental illness. This follow up hui was designed to further encapsulate information from those with tāngata whaiora experience, and use it to create new, less restrictive mental health models of care. 22 Te Rau Matatini Annual Report

25 Best Practice Framework Te Hau Mārire created a document with the intention to provide information surrounding Best Practice for mental health services for Māori. It was revealed that an assertive indigenous response to increasing Māori Mental Health will involve the recognition of success within Māori Mental Health services, and of Māori health professionals. The development Establishing and strengthening connections between whānau, hapū and iwi is also recognised as being important when developing programmes for communities. This is because whakawhanaungatanga is integral to Māori cultural values, practices and models. During the programme construction, identifying the answers to a list of key factors will help to determine how effective the programme will be. of a Best Practice Framework to underpin the design of future programmes and services for Māori, interrelates with the continual strive for excellence and the enhancement of the Māori mental health workforce. Does the programme make a difference for Māori? Does it assist tāngata whaiora in feeling comfortable with the service provided? Is there an improved sense of support and understanding Evidence suggests that effective Māori mental health services operate in accordance to specific elements of Te Ao Māori (the Māori worldview). These elements are based around the desire to enhance well-being for whānau, hapū and iwi. As priorities for the affected whānau? Are relationships strengthened between the Māori health professional and the tangata whaiora, whānau and/or employers? differ from whānau to whānau around Aotearoa, a locally led Māori mental health solution has been recognised as the most effective approach.

26 Whakaahua 10 Hemaima Hughes, President of Te Kaunihera NGĀ NEEHI MĀORI - MĀORI NURSING There is a strong focus on supporting qualified Māori health practitioners that have a dual competency within the health sector. Māori nursing is a prime example of why it is important to ensure Māori are trained in providing care within rural Māori communities. The unique set of skills and experience Māori nurses bring to their role provides them with a different approach to working with clients. Māori nurses tend to focus on the person and their whānau (Barton & Wilson, 2008), which fosters the connection of their nursing care with Māori cultural values and principles. Nurses work in fast paced environments where no day is ever the same. Success in this career requires enthusiasm to learn, the ability to communicate well and recognise the values of others, as well as prioritise multiple demands. The role of Māori Increasing the number of Māori health professionals has been recognised as an important factor which improves Māori patient access to health services and their experiences of holistic care (Ratima et al., 2007). nurses is more than providing care as they also play a crucial role in shaping the way health and social services respond to people with mental health or addiction issues (Ministry of Health, 2012), as well as providing support for Māori whānau to achieve Whānau Ora (Te Puni Kōkiri, 2013). To ensure Whānau Ora is achieved for Māori whānau, hapū and iwi throughout Aotearoa, more effort is required to improve the workforce of Māori mental health nurses. However, over the last decade Māori registered nurses have struggled to exceed 7% of the overall registered nurses workforce. Te Rau Matatini recognises the importance of Māori nurses, their role in the community and their service delivery, and has a strong focus the on recruitment and retention of Māori nurses. 24 Te Rau Matatini Annual Report

27 Growing our Workforce strategy Partnering with the Māori Caucus of Te Ao Māramatanga to facilitate a series of regional hui, and developing the Māori Mental Health Nursing: Growing Our Workforce, proved to be an innovative approach to establishing a Best Practice guideline. Te Ao Māramatanga are recognised as one of the largest Māori registered health professional groups in Aotearoa. Although the partnership produced a great guideline for Māori nurses, challenges remain around increasing Māori Mental Health Nursing: Growing Our Workforce was blessed by kaumātua and launched at Te Whare Mārie, Kaupapa Māori Mental Health services (Capital & Coast District Health Board) in August Since then, 500 copies have been distributed to key stakeholders such as the Chief Nurses Office, Ministry of Health, Executive Directors of Nursing (District Health Boards), Directors of Mental Health Nursing, Māori Nurse Leaders, Māori Mental Health nurses, Māori nursing students and others. recruitment and retention of the Māori nursing workforce to effectively meet the health needs of Māori. As achieving a higher recruitment and retention rate for Māori Mental Health nursing in order to help whānau achieve To address the issue of recruitment and retention, a range of initiatives for enhancing Māori nursing development over the years have been facilitated. One initiative is through the message Every whānau should have a Māori nurse. The aim for this is to increase access for all whānau to Māori nurses and assist whānau, hapū and iwi to increase the workforce numbers, capacity and capability of Māori nurses who work across the health and disability sector. Whānau Ora is the priority for Māori nursing.utilising the feedback received from the sector provides enough detailed information to enhance the current system, capacity and capability of the Māori Mental Health nursing workforce. Huarahi Whakatū Professional Development and Recognition Programme (PDRP) Huarahi Whakatū PDRP is the only Māori professional development programme in Aotearoa. Utilising Te Pae Māhutonga (Durie, 2009) as the guiding framework for Māori Health Promotion, six core elements necessary for growing and supporting the ongoing development of the Māori mental health nursing workforce are identified. These core elements are: The programme is coordinated by a Māori registered nurse, guided by a cultural and clinical governance board with access to mentors and Māori Assessors. Since its establishment it has maintained its relevancy as a professional development recognition programme, based on dual competency for Mauriora: Specialised and uniquely distinctive Māori mental health nursing practice Toiora: Supporting Māori mental health nursing excellence Waiora: Protective and nurturing practice environments Māori Registered Nurses in Aotearoa. In October 2014, the programme received its second accreditation by the Nursing Council of New Zealand, which validates it for another five year period. Te Oranga: High quality, relevant Māori mental health nursing training pathways Ngā Manukura: Strategic, connected, and sustainable leadership Te Mana Whakahaere: Self determined pathways. The Huarahi Whakatū framework is specifically tailored for Māori Registered Nurses to enhance their cultural and clinical competencies. This framework contains the six domains of Māori cultural competencies, as well as the expected domains of practice as outlined by the Nursing Council of New Zealand. Alongside Te Pae Māhutonga, Māori Mental Health Nursing: Growing Our Workforce enhances the understanding of, and Within this framework nurses are able to apply for four levels of practice: the confidence in the unique contributions made by the Māori mental health nursing workforce.

28 The programme is applicable to the majority of domains where Māori registered nurses may be employed. Examples include: primary care; youth heath; public health; Mental Health and Addiction; Hauora Māori; school nursing and Māori nurse lecturers (within undergraduate and postgraduate nursing education). The majority of nurses who participate and show the most interest in the programme are already within the Mental Health and Addiction sector. 22 Māori nurses have Telenursing has been identified as an effective way to ensure Māori have access to Māori nurses 24/7. Enhancing the clinical competencies of Māori nurses, while they utilise their cultural competency, allows Māori access to services they understand. This is a crucial point of difference as most rural areas have little access to effective nursing for Māori populations. Ngā mihi mahana ki a mātou tuakana, ko Medibank.

As technology becomes increasingly utilised throughout the 21st Century, more Māori in rural areas will become increasingly reliant on it for medical care. By ensuring that nurses, both culturally and clinically competent, are given opportunities to excel, the health of Māori in rural areas will enhance and reflect the services provided. Having the programme also accepted within District Health Boards is important as they contribute to the majority of employed registered nurses. They are also key allies to ensure Māori Registered Nurses receive professional development hours in order to complete their portfolio, as well as receive contractual remuneration payments when nurses achieve: Puna Whakatau, Puna Rahi and Puna Rangatira in Pūkenga Haumanu (clinical). Currently the Huarahi Whakatū programme is accepted in the following District Health Boards: Northland, Waitemata, Counties Manukau, Lakes, Tai Rāwhiti, Whanganui, Wairarapa, Capital & Coast, Hutt Valley, Nelson-Marlborough, and Southland. Medibank Telenursing Te Rau Matatini takes this opportunity to appreciate the contribution Medibank made to providing Telenursing Scholarships for Māori nurses. Telenursing is the use of telecommunications and information technology for the delivery of nursing services. Medibank s assistance ensures Māori nurses are afforded adequate opportunities to excel within Māori nursing through new technology. 26 Te Rau Matatini Annual Report

30 RANGATAHI - YOUTH Whakaahua 12 Toitū Hauora Māori Rangatahi attendees. Te Rau Matatini has established a strategy to incorporate rangatahi throughout the work of Te Rau Matatini. Māori rangatahi are over represented in correctional statistics and have been identified as less likely to transition into higher education which results in poorer life outcomes than those who continue on to higher education. Therefore, developing programmes and initiatives which support the recruitment and retention of rangatahi within the health workforce is important. As rangatahi are also tāngata whaiora, incorporating rangatahi advisors and opinion leaders to assist in the development of innovative approaches helps to provide effective health resources and programmes to other rangatahi. This is evident in the range of consultation hui and health career pathway resources. Fostering a Rangatahi voice In October 2015, a strategy was established to identify and enable a rangatahi perspective throughout the work of Te Rau Matatini. Initial planning sessions involving the team looked at how to foster this rangatahi voice. This work has a focus in on Suicide Prevention and Cyberbullying. Approaches of interest to the team will include good codesign principles, leadership and safety. Other existing knowledge and expertise on staff includes Dr Kahu McClintock who has developed a model for Children Adolescents Mental Health Service (CAMHS) delivery, and culturally appropriate clinical assessments. Dr McClintock has also recently published a joint literature review on Rangatahi Māori and Addictions. This review identifies that Māori youth The increased focus on recruitment, retention and innovative approaches to incorporate rangatahi perspectives is essential to supporting and strengthening the future Māori health workforce of Aotearoa. are over represented in both binge drinking and other problem drug use data. Broader factors relating to the ongoing impacts of colonisation continue to create these negative statistics. 28 Te Rau Matatini Annual Report

31 A rangatahi focused project running during 2015, Ka Hao te Rangatahi, included a scope of action indicated by key advisors knowledgeable in youth and rangatahi issues and service provision. This initiated a literature review which identified a lack of recent information about rangatahi Māori, with little presentation of data from quantitative based surveys and systems reporting that identifies Māori youth separately from all youth in Aotearoa. A concurrent research process identified the critically high rate of young Māori (aged years) incarcerated by the Justice system each year, revealing that 50% of prison inmates are Māori. National consultation on rangatahi workforce development The need to focus on rangatahi, their engagement in health training, education and qualifications were emphasised in the consultation hui with Māori Mental Health and Addiction Services and workforce. Consultations took place during February 2015 in Whangarei, Auckland, Hamilton, Palmerston North, Wellington, Nelson, and Christchurch. The comments from the hui specific to rangatahi Māori highlighted the nationwide issue of the lack of Māori staff (nurses and doctors), and too few young Māori entering health career pathways. Recommendations to address this included: Growing the capacity and capability of the Māori Mental Health and Addiction Workforce through wānanga/e learning to reiterate the importance of Dual Competency. An increase in rangatahi and kaimahi support to join the workforce can be achieved through providing more educational pathways, Increasing the number of Māori in strategic positions dealing with policies, strategies and recruitment, through highlighting the educational pathway for kaimahi and other Māori; Envisioning the Māori workforce will be youthful, resilient and full of excellent role models for rangatahi (youth), who can follow the clearly defined career pathways to governance roles, and Developing a comprehensive educational pipeline tailored specifically for rangatahi. The education pipeline will provide an array of career pathways in Te Ao Māori, Clinical and Community based mahi (work). This approach will offer a clear understanding of how to achieve certain career pathways.

Mental Health Career Pathways also provides information regarding the types of support rangatahi are able to access while studying toward their desired career. This ensures they are able to complete their qualifications and enter into the mental health workforce. These resources were released in mid October matatini 29

32 The next focus will be on a series of resources based around career progression once rangatahi have entered a Mental Health career. This will focus on clinical pathways, scopes of practice and career change. These resources will be available from December Kia Ora Hauora National Māori Health Career s Programme Kia Ora Hauora Supporting Māori into Health is a national programme established in 2008 to increase the overall number of Māori working in the health and disability sector. The programme has a national base within Auckland, and four regional co-ordination centres in Northland, Rotorua, Wellington and Christchurch. Through this discussion document key actions and intervention points will be identified to lift Māori achievement in Sciences, and assist in increasing numbers of rangatahi who can pursue tertiary level health qualifications. Tā Tātou Mahere Korowai Guidelines Tamariki and rangatahi are key to the future well-being of Te Ao Māori and more broadly Aotearoa New Zealand. Health services play an important role, and rangatahi know what type of health services they prefer. It has been identified that services which are holistic, recognise the influence of their relationships with whānau and school friends; are confidential, non-judgemental, free or affordable; locally delivered, youthfriendly, and offer a range of services that are easy to access, are what rangatahi are looking for. Te Rau Matatini is the National Non-Government Organisation partner for Kia Ora Hauora, providing opportunities for partnership and an alignment of strategic objectives. Kia Ora Hauora currently has 3,867 Māori students engaged in its programmes. Improving Māori student achievement in Science Joint Project with Kia Ora Hauora A discussion document has been created for the Kia Ora Hauora Expert Advisory Group on Māori achievement in sciences from Years The discussion document is based on a recent literature review, completed by Te Rau Matatini. Tā Tātou Mahere Korowai provides a model for Mental Health, Addiction and Whānau Ora services to infuse the views and aspirations of rangatahi, ensuring services are meeting their needs. As Whānau Ora encourages health services to place whānau at the centre of service delivery, these guidelines actively recognise the importance of incorporating rangatahi in the planning and delivery of services for young people. The use of korowai represents (when based on Māori cultural values) how services can wrap around whānau, tamariki and rangatahi to support and increase well-being and resiliency. The literature identifies the National Certificate in Educational Achievement (NCEA), and other current barriers / enablers key to Māori engagement and progression on health qualification pathways. Māori experiences in schools may either support and enable their engagement in science, or be barriers to Māori success in science. Some elements are summarised within tables outlining enablers for education in science, disablers of knowledge and positive learning experiences of science, some commonly held perceptions and misunderstandings about Māori engagement and success in science and; the elements which support Māori and others to be science choosers, or those who continue on with science studies, into qualifications needed for health pathways and professions. 30 Te Rau Matatini Annual Report

39 Hoe Whā Post Doctoral Research in Problem Gambling Whakaahua 19 Hoe Whā scholarship 2015 recipient Dr Anne Macaskill Dr Anne Macaskill has now completed a large portion of the planned experiments for this research project. In 2015 she has been travelling to share her findings and to develop connections with other gambling researchers. In July, Anne visited Australia, where she visited gambling researchers at Sothern Cross University in Coff s Harbour, New South Wales. She also visited Lewis Bizo at University of New England suggested that offline wins might be aversive or unpleasant because people might feel frustrated that they just missed a win. However, counter to this, Anne has found that participants prefer to gamble on machines that produce off-line wins. She thinks that it is important to look at off-line wins as previous research has tended to focus on older style near win events that are less likely to occur on current multi-line slot machines. Armadale campus. Dr. Bizo is a member of the advisory panel for her fellowship. This was a very productive visit as Anne was able to join the new University of New England gambling research group as a collaborator, and planned some research work with Lewis. This will involve conducting some follow up research replicating and extending an interesting finding from his lab, and working together on a journal article for submission. During Anne s trip, she also presented on research from her fellowship project at the Australian Learning Group Conference. This was a great chance for her to get a sense of the relevant research being conducted in Australia. Anne has also been pleased to be asked to become an editorial board member for the journal Analysis of Gambling Behaviour. This is a new journal, which is becoming increasingly established and publishing very interesting research. Anne recently completed data collection for a set of experiments following up on this result where she hopes to better understand the effects of offline wins. Anne has previously found that participants respond to offline wins as if they provide information about the likelihood that a win will occur in the future. In that study, participants could wager on one of three lines on a simulated multi-line slot machine. If they bet, for example, on Line 1, and then there were five matching symbols on Line 3 (an offline win) they were then a little more likely than usual to wager on Line 3 on the next spin - acting as if that line might currently be lucky. This has not been demonstrated previously to her knowledge but it fits in with a body of research showing that people often think that pokie outcomes can be predicted in some way even though, in truth, they are completely random and unpredictable. At the New Zealand Association for Behaviour Analysis conference in Christchurch, Anne presented data from a project investigating off-line wins. An off-line win occurs when a combination of winning symbols occurs on a pokie line on which the gambler did not wager. One recent paper matatini 37

40 Whakaahua 20 Rangatahi from the Rongoatea programme, Te Runanga o Kirikiriroa. RANGAHAU - RESEARCH AND EVALUATION All programmes conducted through Te Rau Matatini are evaluated to assess effectiveness for the intended audience. Te Kīwai Rangahau (Te Rau Matatini Research and Evaluation group) conduct these evaluations through quantitative and qualitative approaches to ensure data can be accurately represented and disseminated throughout the sector. As programmes or literature are evaluated it allows insight into new and innovative approaches to Māori well-being, whether it be for rangatahi or kaumātua. Each programme has a set of achievements and deliverables it needs to meet in order to be evaluated as a success. Toro Mai tō Ringa Earlier in 2015 Te Kīwai Rangahau, carried out an online survey with New Zealand Infant Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (ICAMHS), about the Māori ICAMHS resources available through the Toro Mai tō Ringa website ( com). The results show that there is room for improving awareness of the Māori ICAMHS resources available on the Toro Mai To Ringa website, with only 30.4% of respondents knowing about them. It is encouraging though that 100% of the respondents who were not aware of the resources prior to the survey were interested in learning more about them. Further to that, 83.3% of all the people who responded were interested in learning about future ICAMHS resources and research that Te Rau Matatini might develop. Respondents also suggested other ICAMHS resources they would like developed such as those that utilised Māori tikanga (customs) and Māori whakaaro (ideas). Hauraki Primary Health Organisation (PHO) The Hauraki PHO is a primarily rural population demography, encompassing the rohe of Hauraki, Coromandel, northern and southern Waikato, as well as parts of Hamilton City; it also umbrellas 26 medical practices. Te Kīwai Rangahau and Hauraki PHO have agreed to collaborate together to facilitate While the sample size was modest, Te Kīwai Rangahau are pleased that there was representation from 5/6 of the District three rangatahi provider forum hui to find commonality and solutions to rangatahi issues, within the PHO region. Health Boards with the highest Māori populations. 38 Te Rau Matatini Annual Report

41 The approach will be three pronged and involve; Working in partnership to support local providers to find commonality and solutions as this affects rangatahi in their communities; Maintain and develop a Kaupapa Māori focus as a priority by all Hauraki PHO partners; and Te Kīwai Rangahau will work with the PHO and its partners to identify workforce development opportunities, as they relate to rangatahi workforce in Hauraki and Waikato. Hua Oranga Outcome Assessment Outcome measures are critical to the development of quality mental health services and for their continuous improvements (Mellsop & Wilson, 2006). Hua Oranga uses a holistic method of outcome assessment and is founded on an existing model of Māori health, Te Whare Tapa Whā: the four dimensions of taha wairua (spiritual), taha hinengaro (cognitive), taha tinana (physical) and taha whānau (family) (Durie, 1994). This framework is an accepted Māori representation of health and was selected as it appeared to be Provider forums were held in Thames (Hauraki) and Kirikiriroa in early June 2015 facilitated by Te Kīwai Rangahau, Te Rau Matatini. Forum data is being analysed, and was presented to participant stakeholders in July. Kaumātua Training Evaluation During the financial year, Te Kīwai Rangahau conducted an evaluation of the Kaumātua Supervision Training Toka Tū Moana. Feedback from Te Kīwai Rangahau assisted in producing key findings, leading to the enhanced understanding of the programme s effectiveness. Te Kīwai Rangahau established that this programme provides kaumātua with an opportunity to improve the influence of positive change, at both a practitioner and managerial level. It is clear that Toka Tū Moana has significant benefits for Māori whānau, hapū, iwi and kaumātua. Participants at the training programme expressed the need for Toka Tū Moana to carry the New Zealand Qualification Authority (NZQA) approval, and obtain official recognition as a programme to be placed on the New Zealand Qualifications Framework. Delivering a kaumātua training programme with national recognition will provide benefits such as increasing the profile of programmes available to Māori. As a result of increasing the programme s profile, more kaumātua are likely to enrol. More enrolments correlate to added opportunities for establishing Whānau Ora throughout the motu; resulting in healthier the most familiar to Māori health service providers. From a Māori perspective, constructing a measure around the model involves assessments of the four dimensions, taking into account the perspective of three key stakeholders: tangata whaiora (consumer), whānau and clinicians. This is constructed within the context of mental health treatment and care. The training model uses a combined face to face and e-learning approach to the administration and interpretation of the Hua Oranga tool and Outcomes and Recording Analysis (ORA) data. A plan is being developed to promote the programme throughout District Health Boards and Regional Workforce Coordination Centres. Outcomes Recording Analysis (ORA) Database The Outcomes Recording and Analysis database is an online tool developed by Te Rau Matatini. The prime function of the ORA database is to generate accurate, timely, comprehensive, and useful Māori mental health service data. The reports created through the ORA database are based on the Hua Oranga Māori Mental Health Outcome Measurement questionnaire sets which are entered and updated by health service providers registered to access the ORA database. Currently, Te Kīwai Rangahau supports Waitemata District Health Board Moko services to ensure the ORA database is functional and purposeful for service users. whānau. This provides incentive for Te Rau Matatini to ensure that the consumers voice is heard by the Ministry of Health and the New Zealand Qualifications Framework matatini 39

42 Māori Rangatahi Addictions Review A widespread review on Māori Rangatahi Addictions throughout Aotearoa was conducted and launched at the 20th Cutting Edge conference in September. The conference was hosted by Addiction Practitioners Association (DAPAANZ). The primary focus was on health and health research in Indigenous communities, broadly defined. Articles can be of interest to many fields, including sociological, psychological, medical, anthropological, experiential, methodological, both qualitative and quantitative in nature. The evidence is conclusive and unsurprising that a great portion (estimated to be over 1/3) of rangatahi Māori, ages 12 to 24, are involved with substance use and abuse. It was also highlighted that some rangatahi express a degree of dependency on alcohol and other drugs. In 2013 the Pimatisiwin Journal ceased publication. In 2015, the Native Counselling Services of Alberta agreed to transfer the Pimatisiwin journal to Te Rau Matatini. It will be known as Te Mauri - Pimatisiwin, International Journal of Indigenous Health and Well-being. Te Mauri - Pimatisiwin will be relaunched at Healing Our Spirit Worldwide The Seventh Gathering, The findings from Te Kīwai Rangahau support earlier research from the Christchurch Health and Development Study (Horwood & Fergusson, 1998), which uncovered substance use November the journal. Dr Kahu McClintock is the leading editor for disorders were the most common mental health issue among young Māori. These affects are arguably established through the intergenerational influences of colonisation, socioeconomic deprivation and age structure. Te Mauri - Pimatisiwin is promoting the sharing of multidisciplinary indigenous knowledge and research experience between researchers, health and well-being professionals, leaders and community members. It is an open-access webbased indigenous publication hosted by Te Rau Matatini. This information will be used as a means to reduce the rate of substance use and abuse by our rangatahi. Identifying the triggers and ensuring that suitable support is received by rangatahi will support our future leaders. This will enhance the sense of self-awareness, and encourage our rangatahi to aim high and achieve personal objectives, once thought to be Te Māuri - Pimatisiwin will publish original, informative and scholarly articles on the broadly defined topic of indigenous health and well-being.

43 Whakaahua 21 Rangatahi from Waiwhetu on Petone Beach TE HAU MĀIA - TRAINING AND EDUCATION The Private Training Establishment, Te Hau Māia, formed in 2011 provides all training and education development programmes generated by Te Rau Matatini. The in-house training establishment works closely with whānau related health, education and workforce sectors; with a primary focus of contributing to and maintaining the high rate of programme / qualification completion, and achievement for whānau and non- Māori health professionals, in order to help whānau, hapū and iwi achieve Whānau Ora and Pae Ora. The words Te Hau also represents a connection to the four cardinal winds of the four corners of Aoteāroa as Māori see it: Te Taitokerau (North), Te Taitonga (South), Te Tairāwhiti (East), and Te Taihauāuru (West). Māori Public Health In response to what whānau and stakeholder s want, some programmes have been held on local marae where participants feel relaxed and comfortable. Using this kanohi ki te kanohi (face to face) approach in familiar territory, delivered by Māori through Māori ideologies, develops positive experiences and ensures positive expression between the facilitator(s) and participants. Ensuring services which understand Māori ideologies are created and delivered allows Māori to feel increasingly confident in the understanding and retention of important information, for theirs and their whānau well-being. Dedication to the development of the Māori Workforce is critical for effective services being designed for Māori and non-māori. The overarching vision of Te Hau Māia is To strengthen and further equip the Māori workforce through applied, relevant and accessible training programmes to maximise health gains for whānau. These services equate to having great influence on future programme models and delivery for Māori. The current mainstream environment provides little in the way of adequate understanding of how Māori understand information received from health professionals. Through input from Māori into the types of services required and how they should be delivered, a comprehensive and accurate portrayal provides the ability to tailor programmes for Māori Workforce Development. It is the community and stakeholder voice that allows the step forward to enhancing the standard for all involved in the development of the Māori workforce. Māori public health workforce development is a priority of Te Uru Kahikatea: The Public Health Workforce Development Plan ( ) (TUK). TUK is the national strategy to guide public health workforce development within Aotearoa, over the next 10+ years. The document emphasises a range of actions required to meet immediate priorities, and adopts a future focus which aims to prepare the public health workforce to face future challenges. Since 2005, Te Rau Matatini has been addressing consumer concerns by supporting the Māori Public Health workforce and the wider needs to improve cultural competencies. By developing the cultural competency of Māori and non-māori practitioners, effective assessment models can be developed which in turn reflects on the service provided to whānau and its method of delivery. Effective delivery then equates to an increase in the way Māori absorb and retain important information about specific health and/ or special services. As a result of providing information which works for Māori, more Māori are likely to utilise the services in or around their community, and pass on important information to whānau, hapū and iwi matatini 41

44 The key programmes for improving cultural competencies among Māori and Non-Māori health professionals are: period to ensure sufficient opportunities for the learning outcomes can be applied, and evidence can be both gathered and assessed. Kaitiaki Ahurea Cultural Competency Training: This is an interactive course which builds on the skills of the learners to expand and challenge their understanding. The course is appropriate for new public health practitioners, as well as experienced practitioners wanting to further develop their cultural competencies. The intention of the learning includes the application of Te Ao Māori principles to everyday practice within a public health role, when working with Māori communities. He Ara Toiora He Ara Toiora is an innovative whānau-centric approach to reducing the prevalence of Māori childhood obesity, and promoting healthy living. Working closely with an Advisory group and the local community, Waiwhetu Marae, the programme has been fine-tuned to ensure its effectiveness through a technological method of delivery. The use of interactive smart technologies ensures that whānau can follow instructions via web-based content, which encourages physical Tūhono Tuarā - Māori Public Health Training Programme: activity both indoors and outdoors. This programme has been specifically designed to support Māori working in a public health setting. The programme focuses on increasing public health workforce knowledge and understanding of health promotion, from a Māori cultural context. The provision of tools and skills to the public health workforce is designed to assist the implementation of health promotion activities in Māori communities. The content has been developed around Atua Māori (Māori Gods) and their role in the creation story. Utilising their association with primal movements and activities tamariki, whānau or hāpori can set goals for wellness and enhanced lifestyles. From there individual members can choose their own goals, while whole whānau select Atua Plans. An online portal has been tailored for the Waiwhetu These programmes are conducted throughout Te Waipounamu (South Island) in response to the Ministry of Health identifying the need for more Māori focused programmes to align with southern District Health Boards. Providing these programmes in Te Waipounamu ensures that those working with South Island Māori are more attune to tikanga, Te Ao Māori and whakaaro Māori to provide better opportunities and enhanced understanding. Toka Tū Moana The development and delivery of the 2015 Kaumātua community as it encourages groups of people, be it whānau, hapū or iwi, to set physical activity challenges for other groups to attempt. All whānau members track their progress through individual dashboards which show a summary of their progress. Support is provided by a dedicated coach working in the community and schools, with access to online resources allowing whānau members to progress at their own pace. The challenges set between whānau or community groups allows proactive enhancement of lifestyle, and attempts to reduce the rate of Māori childhood obesity by setting positive examples for children. Supervision Training Toka Tū Moana, at two sites, Ōtautahi (Christchurch) and Tūranganui (Gisborne) saw 15 ākonga (students) participate. Toka Tū Moana aims to develop kaumātua to enhance cultural competencies which result in the contribution to effective leadership development.

45 WAKA HOURUA - SUICIDE PREVENTION Whakaahua 22 Waka Hourua E Tu He Māori is underpinned by the vital concepts Māori communities are bound to; te reo me ōna tikanga, Te Ao Māori, whānau, mokopuna, rangatahi and kaumātua; whakapapa and whanaungatanga, whilst achieving full potential in Te Ao Hurihuri (contemporary Aotearoa). The outcomes foster collective responsibility for Māori suicide prevention, whilst promoting continual Māori development and Māori aspirations in its broadest terms, as important features to Waka Hourua. With the application of Pae Ora, its principles of Whānau Ora, Wai Ora and Mauri Ora are taken into account. The rates of Māori self-harm and completed suicides are the highest in Aotearoa. This requires a strong, proactive and aspirational approach to a serious issue. E Tu He Māori (Stance of Māori) provokes the personal, whānau, and national ideal as tāngata whenua (Indigenous people of this land in Aotearoa), and encourages those in need to stand tall within themselves (their whānau, hapū, Iwi), the Māori culture, and as Māori. Within E Tu He Māori are specific outcomes which focus on mokopuna, rangatahi, wahine and tane. Through these components, a collective, integrated and multi-layered approach is created to support reducing suicide among Māori. The Māori Community Suicide Prevention Programme Ko Au, Ko Koe, Ko Tātou Assisting Māori Community Suicide Prevention programmes to develop, realise and support their own whole-of-community suicide prevention plan is the outcome for Ko Au, Ko Koe, Ko Tātou. This is the suicide prevention programme which empowers Māori community change. Pou Ārahi (community change agents) are provided to assist the implementation of the community programmes. The Pou Ārahi are working in partnership with Kia Piki te Ora and District Health Boards in Northland, Waikato, Tai Rāwhiti, Canterbury and Southland. The approach is rarangahia te taurawhiri tangata, weaving whānau, community leaders and groups together to create safe, sound individual, whānau and community responses to suicide prevention and postvention. Working with communities throughout the country is a big driver for Ko Au, Ko Koe, Ko Tātou. Delivering the prospect for communities to establish their own suicide prevention programmes or tools results in increased buy-in form communities which helps to reflect better statistics for the Māori suicide rate. These programmes have been designed for supporting Māori within their communities through rarangahia te taurawhiti tangata and their own suicide prevention programmes matatini 43

46 The Community Fund The Community Fund (a one-off contestable fund of $2 million) has been established to support community-based suicide intervention initiatives or projects. Māori and Pasifika community groups, whānau, hapū, iwi and Pasifika families registered and applied for the Community Fund online. The Fund being divided into two funding streams: Māori Whānau, Hapū, Iwi, and communities Pasifika families and communities. as they develop, implement and share their own approaches to building resilience and resistance to suicide. If a suicide is completed, the affected community will then have the resources needed to support each other, while also ensuring there is confidence in talking about personal difficulties with family or friends. Examples of programmes working within the community are The Aranui Eagles Rugby League Club and Youth T.E.A.M Trust. These two applicants stood out for their particularly direct and innovative proposals. The Aranui Eagles Rugby As communities respond differently to suicide prevention approaches it is necessary to develop individually tailored approaches for each community. By allowing communities to be a part of the identification process for the tools needed, the chance of success increases. Positive contributions and dedicated engagement from Māori communities allows for effective programmes to be manifested for the community. The number of communities assisted by Ko Au, Ko Koe, Ko Tātou and the Community Fund project is outlined in the tables below. Community Number of initiatives Auckland 12 Tai Te Tai Tokerau 8 Waikato 4 Bay of Plenty 12 Taranaki 1 Tai Rāwhiti 2 Hawkes Bay 3 Horowhenua 3 Wellington 3 Canterbury 3 Otago 2 Community Number of engagements Northland 43 Tai Rāwhiti 64 Waikato 38 Canterbury 23 Southland 58 The project outcomes for Māori and Pasifika communities are designed to contribute to families, whānau and communities being strongly connected to one another through leadership, League Club developed a concept of applying a simple suicide help-seeking message to t-shirts and track pants. The club has evidence of the success of such a project as it already promotes the It s Not Ok message. The club knows it works and getting a suicide awareness message out in this simple way will mean a lot to the members. It is recognised as being able to achieve a lot in the Aranui area by increasing awareness and initiating conversation, among the community. Youth T.E.A.M. Trust also presents a highly innovative case for educating and mobilising Māori and Pasifika hairdressers and barbers to hear their clients stories. Here they have the ability to read the warning signs and use the close relationships they enjoy with their clients to make sure suicide prevention and postvention messages get out into communities. The project focuses on a less obvious role that hairdressers and barbers can have in the prevention of suicide. Giving hairdressers and barbers who work in predominantly Pasifika communities the tools and resources for dealing with suicide ideation will give them confidence to listen to their clients challenges and difficulties. Hair4Life involves suicide prevention workshops being delivered in hair salons and barber shops to establish a suicide prevention capability. These workshops will provide hairdressers with suicide prevention tools and resources to initiate a greater community awareness, while creating leaders to assist the building of resilience among customers and reduce the risk of suicide through simple information. Hairdressers and barbers will also be given the opportunity to receive suicide prevention training through programmes like ASSIST and SafeTalk. Ensuring sustainability beyond the workshops and provides a support network within the community. 44 Te Rau Matatini Annual Report
