NZ Herald - Mental health support that is fit for purpose | Dr Angela Lim

Our CEO Dr Angela Lim provided an opinion piece for The New Zealand Herald where she shares her viewpoint on racial inequality within the healthcare system.

NZ Herald - Mental health support that is fit for purpose | Dr Angela Lim

Within this article, Angela discusses that the mental healthcare system in New Zealand is failing us, and specifically our indigenous communities. Angela brings forth a call to action for more culturally appropriate support and resources to better support Māori's mental health.

A huge part of Angela's work with Clearhead, is fueled by the need to tackle racial inequalities within the healthcare system. The first step was introducing the te reo Māori version of the Clearhead chatbot and website, with support from the nib Foundation and nib New Zealand.

Check out the article below to understand more about the topic.
