Counties Manukau Health providing mental health and addiction support in schools and primary care
Counties Manukau Health’s (CM Health) four integrated locality care (ILoC) teams are supporting primary care professionals to respond more effectively to the mental health and addiction needs of their clients.
With a strong focus on prevention and early intervention, it links expertise from DHB specialist services, NGOs, general practice (GP) nurses and doctors, and school counsellors and nurses to provide a joined up and tailored approach to mental wellbeing.
Mental health and addiction clinicians and support workers engage with and fit in with how schools and primary care work to provide advice, assessments, brief interventions and education, to reduce the likelihood that people will need these services later.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
