Campaigning for change
Using evaluation, data, and collaboration to advocate for change.
In 2017, Platform|Atamira released Fast Track, a discussion paper on challenges & opportunities for the mental health & addiction community support workforce. This was an initiative between Te Pou o te Whakaaro nui and Platform Trust.
Input for this report was sought from different parts of the mental health and addiction sector, as well as through three forums with mental health and addiction support workers. A national support work summit, Māhuri Tōtara, was held in 2018 to further progress the issues outlined in Fast Track. Report on the forums held, and the summit for support workers can be found on the Te Pou website.
