Mental Health and Wellbeing Report w/ Hayden Wano: December 8, 2021

Today, the Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission released their Te Rau Tira wellbeing report. This report looks into the wellbeing of New Zealanders over the past year. With the Covid-19 pandemic raging on, it's a good time to check in on how Kiwis are holding up!

The report highlights the inequities in wellbeing faced by marginalised groups such as Māori, Pasifika, and women. 

I spoke with the Commission's Board Chair, Hayden Wano, about the findings of the report, what it means for the community, and how we should narrow our focus to help those who have suffered disproportionately.
