TENANTS - Southland Community House

SOUTHLINK GP SERVICES - Room 7A

This role has been created as there has been a gap in our organisation regarding Maori Health. I work predominantly with our primary health care services - Medical Centre's and staff, as well as other external health providers, organisations and communities to establish improvement plans for the health outcomes of our people. It is my duty and purpose along with Southlink Health to help improve the current inequity that is apparent in our health system for our Maori and Pasifica Whanau

MIRROR COUNSELLING SERVICES- Aroha Ki Te Tamariki Trust - Room 1

Mirror Services primarily works with children who have experienced trauma (physical, emotional, sexual or environmental/medical neglect). I work with children who have completed a Gateway Assessment through Oranga Tamariki. The gateway assessment is a holistic approach to care and protection, health and mental wellness. Through the gateway assessment these children should receive wrap around services to be able to provide the support and assistance needed for them to thrive in the future. We also work with the parents and caregivers to ensure that they develop positive and trauma informed approaches to parenting and create an understanding of their behaviours and underlying needs.
