Date of publication: September 2007

Summary


Let’s Get Real is a draft framework that describes the essential knowledge, skills and attitudes required to deliver effective mental health and addiction treatment services. It brings together the work of many people in the sector over the past decade across a range of professions, roles and services. It also incorporates sector feedback from regional workshops held in late 2006.

Let’s Get Real is a key workforce development document designed to enable the sector to achieve the workforce and culture for recovery challenge of Te Tahuhu – Improving Mental Health 2005–2015. That challenge is to build a workforce that supports recovery, is person centred, is culturally capable and delivers an ongoing commitment to assure and improve the quality of services for people.
