New Zealand faces many significant mental health-related challenges. Stress and burnout in the workplace are now common place, our domestic violence rates are some of the highest in the world, our children are faced with an increasingly uncertain and changing world, and events such as the Christchurch Earthquakes have left many people on both sides of the coin feeling powerless as to how to alleviate chronic stress and resolve ongoing issues. Recent data shows that mental health referrals have risen by as much as 300% in the last 5 years, leadership and wellbeing programmes are acknowledged as being only partially effective, and surveys indicate that health workers themselves are struggling to cope with workloads and pressures.
We all know that fresh thinking and innovative solutions are required to be able to solve these challenges, both now and in the future.
