Supporting Aotearoa’s Rainbow People – A Mental Health Guide
Supporting Aotearoa’s Rainbow People – A Mental Health Guide
Audience: Schools, Mental Health Professionals
Rainbow people in New Zealand face a range of complex issues, and mental health professionals don’t always receive specific training about their needs and experiences.
This guide is for anyone who provides mental health support in Aotearoa, including (but not limited to) counsellors, psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, tohunga (Māori healers), social workers, mental health nurses, and GPs. It will also be helpful for youth workers, group facilitators, and peer supporters.
This resource is also available in digital PDF download and in Te Reo Māori, if you would like the Te Reo Māori version, please get in contact with us.
Our resources are free, but if you're in a position to contribute to help us cover the postage and coordination costs of getting these sent to schools and community providers we'd greatly appreciate it!
