, managed by UniServices, provides evidence-based learning and development for people who work in child and youth mental health. Contracted by the ministries of Health and Education, it provides workforce development in best-practice approaches to mental health and wellbeing as well as support in systems and service improvement.

鈥淓quity for people in Aotearoa is the cornerstone of 奥丑腻谤补耻谤补耻,鈥� says Milnes. 鈥淲e are here to support the workforce and help them be the best they can.鈥�

Milnes has been with the UniServices-run 奥丑腻谤补耻谤补耻, which is based on Waipapa Taumata Rau, University of 撸撸视频research, for seven years. She previously worked at the Ministry of Health in policy and workforce development roles.

Milnes will lead 奥丑腻谤补耻谤补耻 through an expansion of its e-learning offering. Though it once supported a primarily clinically based workforce, 奥丑腻谤补耻谤补耻 has extended its training and resources to community workers, social workers, teachers and people with lived experience of mental health challenges who provide peer support.

Milnes is also excited about an e-learning partnership with fellow UniServices business unit Tui Tuia | Learning Circle, which provides professional development for teachers.

The online learning will be launched in 2023 and will include e-modules and supporting webinars designed to help school staff minimise student distress and the need to use physical restraint.

There is a lot of potential in this piece of work, says Milnes, particularly because schools tend to be siloed. Teachers deal with the immediate needs of students in front of them the best they can, sometimes without awareness of what amplifies distress or the external support available for a struggling young person or wh膩nau.

Asking the workforce for more detailed feedback will be a priority for Milnes and she plans to seek views, not only on individual workshops or webinars, but about the work of 奥丑腻谤补耻谤补耻 overall.

鈥淲e want to find out if our strategies are working for them, including our website and learning management system, our virtual hui and our regional visits,鈥� says Milnes.

The 奥丑腻谤补耻谤补耻 team includes staff from diverse training backgrounds and perspectives, including backgrounds in clinical training, Te Ao M膩ori, Pacific approaches, project management and policy development. This broad skillset is useful because projects are always evaluated from a range of viewpoints and through lived experience, says Milnes.

奥丑腻谤补耻谤补耻 also works closely with other providers, including Te Pou, Le Va and Te Rau Ora 鈥� the adult, Pacific and M膩ori mental health workforce development centres. These relationships are beneficial and reciprocal.
