Mental health groups in NZ urge investment in mental health system, citing understaffing and under-resourcing.
Mental health groups in NZ have written an open letter to Minister Matt Doocey and the Coalition Government, urging investment in the country's mental health system. The government's budget policy statement excluded health, mental health, and addiction as priority areas. The mental health groups claim that the current system is understaffed and under-resourced, and that dedicated funding would support those with mental illness, reduce strain on public health systems, and empower NZers to lead fulfilling lives.
