Sorry -
we're having some technical problems with the site at present (as
you'll maybe have seen, it's been hacked) and we are having to move it
across to a new server. Hopefully it will be up and running again
shortly, but rewriting it from scratch is taking a while.
Everything that you need so as to meet the College's Maori Mental
Health Training requirements is available here however, in the interim.
- If
you've already read the material on the website and done the required
clinical tasks, and just need to complete the assessments, you can
download the word file of the assessments here Assessments in WORD
and once completed, you can email them to this email address
for critiqueing.
- At any
stage in your training you can carry out the clinical tasks that you'll
need to write up for the assessments. There are two clinical
assessments. Firstly we ask that you talk to a Maori cultural worker or
kaumatua about their role (see the Assessments document for details).
Secondly, we ask that you write up one case history of a Maori patient
whom you have assessed and treated. It's best to pick someone whose
whanau were also involved and where you had at least one whanau
meeting, and where a Maori cultural advisor was involved. Again, see
the Assessments document for details about what we are looking for in
the case history.
- Finally,
here
is a pdf file with extracts from the relevant pages of the site to
assist you complete the more "academic" aspects of the assessments.
- If you
have been able to work in a Maori Clinical Team post during your
training for at least 3 FTE months, then this is sufficient and you
don't need to do the Te Iho assessments as well. However, you could
still complete them in Advanced Training, as below.
Using Te Iho to Achieve a Cultural
Management Learning Goal
(for Advanced Trainees):
Advanced Trainees are welcome to use some of the Te Iho assessments (if
they have not already completed these in Basic Training) to complete a
planned Cultural Management Learning Goal. The most appropriate aspects
of the assessments are the two Clinical Assessments.
Exemption Candidates Required to Complete Indigenous
Training Experience by the RANZCP:
Exemption candidates are welcome to complete the Te Iho assessments to
satisfy this College requirement. Just use the resources as above,
using the same Assessments in WORD format.
Using Te Iho information
for general orientation:
Read the pdf file
for general orientation if you're from overseas and are, or will be,
working in the mental health field in New Zealand.
