Kiri Waititi was a clinical psychiatrist for 6 years and devoted a lot of her time to studying mental health but always felt torn between her identity as Māori and what she was doing. However through further studies she found a body of research that informed her that not only 80% of therapeutic success is within people themselves but that a further 95% is within being Māori and only 5% comes down to models. This shifted her focus from model basis to being Māori and what is inherit within whakapapa to support our people. This was a very informative and insight kōrero that can contribute to better understanding and further supporting whanau and even ourselves with our mental health.

This is an episode of two tāne sharing our lessons, flaws and areas of where we're trying to be better men for our partners and families. Hope you enjoy!
