The Better Breathing Pulmonary Rehabilitation Programme has had a facelift post-COVID.

Two familiar faces will head up Canterbury’s roll out of Te Tumu Waiora – a model which puts mental health and wellbeing at the heart of general practice with focused roles working from the practice.

Children from Northcote School in Christchurch were delighted to meet Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern last week when she popped in to see first-hand the way Mana Ake – Stronger for Tomorrow is enhancing the wellbeing and the mental health of our tamariki.

People will now get mental health support from one place as part of a plan to improve health services across the Hurunui and Kaikōura.

The theme for 2019 Mental Health Awareness Week year is exploring your way to wellbeing – Whāia te ara hauora, Whitiora.

Mana Ake - Stronger for Tomorrow has been selected as a finalist for the Spirit of Service awards in the Better Outcomes Award / Te Tohu mō ngā Hua E Pai Ake Ana.

Children across Canterbury will benefit from ‘play therapy’ as a mechanism for improving wellbeing and mental health, as part of a partnership between Mana Ake – Stronger for Tomorrow and Sport Canterbury.

The Canterbury Health System has launched a new website – Canterbury Resilience Hub – www.resilient.org.nz. The website is a central point for health and wellbeing advice and support, with links to other organisations that can provide practical assistance for people recovering from a significant event.
