Māori have been conditioned to believe, through the Westernised science model and messaging, that we can't cope with life and we as Māori cannot fix our own problems. That has led us to believe that we can no longer turn to our whānau, our natural support systems. As a result, we have been colonised into undervaluing our own systems rooted in mātauranga Māori, our power to create our own oranga. This solution is in Māori models of care like Whānau Ora, who received no funding in this latest Budget. This is backed by a massive body of research that supportive relationships and networks, motivation, fostering and building pre-existing skills and resources, focusing on strengths, connecting with whānau, having high hopes and expectations, and being helped with a plan tailored to their needs are the key ingredients necessary for someone to overcome their struggles. These key ingredients are what make up the kaupapa of Whānau Ora. Why? Because it is rooted in mātauranga Māori. From experience, I have witnessed amazing shifts in the confidence of our whānau through focusing on these areas. Therefore, all the Māori mental health funding should be devolved to a by Māori, for Māori approach to Māori kaupapa, like Whānau Ora, to ensure effective, enduring, caring, and inclusive Māori models of care which are rooted in mātauranga Māori. Thank you, Minister.
