This is an opportunity for practitioners to visit our Centre in person and:
- Learn about the full scope of our programme (including pre- and post- stages), who it is for, what it consists of, how it works alongside existing treatment, how participants can join, and the funding options available.
- Discover the special space we have created for participants to feel comfortable and help them be ready to initiate and sustain their recovery journey.
- Meet members of our highly experienced, multi-disciplinary team who deliver the programme.
Relevance to practitioners: when your clients need more
Whakamātūtū fills a gap in the mental health eco-system for Wellington. It focuses on those who require more support than what primary services can provide, but who do not need in-patient care. Evidence indicates that our approach, short term group therapy followed by ongoing peer support, can be a valuable complement to individualised therapy. Where ACC funding applies, participants are able to continue with private therapy sessions while attending the programme.
About Whakamātūtū
Whakamātūtū is a six-week, integrated therapeutic recovery programme for adults experiencing depression, anxiety and other common forms of mental distress. Our programme includes culturally responsive, evidence-based treatments, therapies, and activities that are personalised to suit the unique needs of each participant.
