Primary Mental Health

Te Uru Mataī – supporting our Hawke’s Bay community through our free Health and Wellbeing services.

Pouora | Health Improvement Practitioners (HIPs) are experienced mental health clinicians who work with people of all ages and their whānau. They support any challenges impacting your mental, physical, and social health. Sessions are brief (15-30 minutes) focusing on what is important to you.

At your first session we will make a plan with you, to start making positive changes in your life. There are no limits to how often you can see the HIP. They will work with you until you are making progress towards your goals. This may only take one session, but you can always come back and see them again if new issues come up.

Community Support Workers are based in the community. They help improve your wellbeing.

They can visit you in your home or connect you to wider services in the community. This includes housing, social support, and cultural support.

Sometimes the Health Coach and Community Support Worker roles are combined.

Poutoko | Health Coaches are not registered health professionals, but they are trained in Health Coaching and work as part of your general practice team. They help you gain the knowledge, skills and confidence to better manage your health. This can include helping you set yourself health goals and supporting you as you work towards them.

Health Coaches may also help you and your whānau find resources in your community/online to support your social, emotional and physical wellbeing. They will support you over time to make progress towards your goals.

Ask your Doctor about Health Improvement Practitioners and Health Coaches for more information.

Call or visit your practice in-person to set up an appointment.
