Only 4 percent of psychologists in Aotearoa are Māori. But Māori are 50 per cent more likely to experience mental distress than tauiwi, or non-Māori.

This episode is about Hauora | Health, and the ways a kaupapa Māori view compares to the Western health system. We talk to clinical psychologist Dr Waikaremoana Waitoki about a Māori approach to mental health, and educator Heeni Hoterene about the Māramataka or Moon calendar and how it can impact our wellbeing.
