More than 80 health professionals received Red Cross training in Psychological First Aid to provide support to communities affected by Cyclone Gabrielle.
Staff from Te Whatu Ora, alongside hauora Māori providers and community workers were taught about how to recognise distress and how to provide Psychological First Aid.
Sally Maoate, Kaitakawaenga at Te Whatu Ora, found the training informative.
“I am more confident in how to empathetically approach a person who has been through a traumatic event and can help someone develop strategies to cope with the impacts of the cyclone.”
Mel Te Whaiti Nurse Director Māori Health at Te Aka Whai Ora said planning is underway to get these sessions out to other communities.
“As well as training our frontline health workers, we want to extend this opportunity to community champions and marae leads to better equip those supporting our whānau.”
“A big mihi to Red Cross who have listened to our requests and been able to provide a suitable version of Psychological First Aid training quickly and effectively.”

Joining this year’s intake of House Officers at Hawke’s Bay Hospital felt like coming home for Milly Bowen.
Milly, Rongomaiwahine (iwi), grew up on a farm on Te Mahia Peninsula. But it was the whakawhanaungatanga (establishing relationships) gained from the Tuakana Teina Internship that truly made her new beginning feel like returning home.
Milly, was one of the inaugural Tuakana Teina interns in 2019 who spent the summer working within the Māori Health Team in Te Matau a Māui, Hawke’s Bay.
Te Aka Whai Ora Māori Workforce Advisor Heneriata Paringatai says the kaupapa behind the programme is to give Māori tertiary students with a keen interest in Hauora Māori, a clear career pathway.
It also plays a vital part in the Māori Workforce Action Plan, to grow the number of Māori in the health workforce in the rohe.
Milly says: "It’s so nice arriving at the start of the year, already knowing some of the people I will be working with.
“I would 100 per cent recommend the internship to other young Māori looking to build a career in health.”
