So mental health and wellbeing is impacted on by many factors: whether someone has a warm, dry home that is accessible and affordable, with security of tenure; whether they have enough income to live in dignity, with food security; whether they are free from violence and harm; whether they have access to the healthcare and support that they need, when they need it. The mental health system cannot create mental wellbeing for our people by itself; it must work with other Government and community organisations, must work with whānau, hapū, iwi, Māori collectives and providers. It should not be up to the police to be part of the front line in dealing with the crisis of mental health. Someone who is suicidal should not have to spend the night in jail because there is nowhere else for them to go.
