12th May, 2022

Background

This Zero seclusion change package | mōkī aroha uses a set of globally recognised, evidence-based interventions aimed at improving the care of tāngata whaiora while moving towards achieving zero seclusion in mental health inpatient units.

When implemented, zero seclusion project teams will provide wider access and choice to effective holistic Māori cultural and Western clinical interventions, which in turn will reduce seclusion rates and improve health equity.

What the package includes

The package is both a coaching tool and resource for zero seclusion project teams as they plan, design, test and apply evidence-informed practices in their local environments.

Used effectively, the package should help teams achieve breakthrough improvements which are able to be applied across the entire mental health sector.
