Mental health in Aotearoa has a siloed approach to oranga for our people, and it hasn't worked. W'ānau Ora is the Māori mental health strategy, but it is more than that. It's a complete wellbeing strategy, and must be valued as such. We must focus on holistic wellbeing and its determinants, rather than continuing with piecemeal and, sadly, uncoordinated approaches. Aotearoa has some of the highest suicide rates in the developed world, as we have heard, and it is a great indictment on this nation. Māori have, sadly, suffered under these systemic conditions, which perpetuate shame. The rates for Māori are horrific. They are higher than any other ethnic group in Aotearoa and are concentrated among our rangatahi. The general suicide rate in 2017-18 was 13.67 deaths per 100,000 population. Shockingly, the rate for Māori rose from 23.7 percent to a rate of 28.23 in 2018-19. I share these stats so that our w'ānau at home understand the increasing impact that we're dealing with. Rangatahi and our takatāpui w'ānau are particularly at risk compared to any other group. Suicide was the second leading cause of premature death for Māori tāne.
