Get Action! Mental Health For Palestine w/ Rick Williment from the Association Psychotherapists Aotearoa New Zealand: October 15, 2025

This week we've seen the most promising developments yet towards de-escalation in Palestine, with international dialogue leading to a cease-fire, exchanges of hostages, and plans to establish a new governing body in the Gaza Strip.

Yet the long term trauma created by conflict often perpetuates instability creating a cycle of violence and escalation. With no plan materialising for ending Israeli occupation of the West Bank nor for pursuing justice for the crimes committed in this conflict, huge questions hang over the future of Palestine and Israel.

For this week’s Get Action!, Wednesday Wire Producer Manny spoke with Rick Williment, Chair of the Public Issues Committee of Psychotherapists Aotearoa New Zealand about his open letter for Mental Health Professionals calling on government action for Palestine.
