Benchmarking Breakout: Stronger together – A collaborative approach to whānau mental wellbeing

Join experts from Yellow Brick Road and Real who are working together to support families achieve positive mental wellbeing outcomes for the whole whānau. This presentation delves into an innovative model, which provides parents and rangatahi with their own unique support and advocacy, while bringing them together to define shared goals and enhance mental wellbeing for the entire family.

Facilitated by:

• Max Gleissner-Puddick – Regional Manager Te Waipounamu and Wairarapa, and Child Protection Lead at Yellow Brick Road
• Jade Smith – Whānau Support Worker at Yellow Brick Road
• Richelle Sands – Team Coach at Real
• A whānau who have completed the programme.

Learn about the strategies, successes, and lessons from this partnership and the programme designed to respect the different voices that exist within a family and find ways to thrive as a more cohesive whānau unit.
