ABSTRACT

Tongan people in Aotearoa New Zealand experience higher rates of mental health challenges than Tongans born in Tonga. Engagement with services is lower for Pacific Island groups than it is for the dominant population in Aotearoa New Zealand. Meanwhile, the Pacific population is growing in Aotearoa New Zealand year after year. This paper explores how services could use evidence to support more appropriate responses for Pacific Islanders, in particular, Tongan communities. It takes recovery in mental health and explores the relevant concepts that would better support engagement and response for Tongans in Aotearoa New Zealand.

在太平洋心理健康服务实践中探索“康复”

摘要

与在汤加出生的汤加人相比，新西兰 Aotearoa 的汤加人遭受心理健康挑战的比率更高。太平洋岛屿群体的服务参与度低于新西兰 Aotearoa 的主要人口。与此同时，太平洋岛民在新西兰的 Aotearoa 年复一年地增长。本文探讨了服务如何利用证据来支持对太平洋岛民（尤其是汤加社区）采取更适当的应对措施。它需要心理健康恢复，并探索相关概念，以更好地支持新西兰奥特罗瓦汤加人的参与和应对。
