MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS

Mental Health Awareness Week 2020 reminded us to take a moment to take stock of our own wellbeing and the wellbeing of those around us - to take a look at the experiences, actions, relationships and surroundings that make us feel good, stay well and uplift our wellbeing. ​
​

​The theme was Reimagine Wellbeing Together: He Tirohanga Anamata - an opportunity to build on the things we’d been doing to look after ourselves, and to reimagine wellbeing together during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

When our mental wellbeing is strong and our workplace is safe, supportive and inclusive, we are far more likely to feel engaged, be productive and have higher morale and job satisfaction. 

te whare tapa whā

The week was was led by daily themes, based on Te Whare Tapa Whā; a health model designed by leading Māori health advocate and Mental Health Foundation patron, Sir Mason Durie in the 1980's; a framework that is just as relevant today.

​Te Whare Tapa Whā
 describes health and wellbeing as a wharenui (meeting house) with four walls and a foundation, that helps us identify where we need extra support. 
The four walls represent:
​
  • taha wairua / spiritual wellbeing, 
  • taha hinengaro / mental and emotional wellbeing,
  • taha tinana / physical wellbeing, 
  • taha whānau / family and social wellbeing, and
  • ​the foundation is our connection with the whenua / land.
