Wellbeing assessment: people who interact with mental health and addiction services downloads

The second Wellbeing assessment explores the wellbeing status for people who interact with mental health and addiction services.

We report here against 22 wellbeing indicators from our He Ara Oranga Wellbeing Outcomes Framework using three national social surveys conducted between 2018 and 2023.

There has been no improvement for people who interact with services in any of the wellbeing measures we highlighted in our previous report.

The 22 indicators include: measures relating to social connection, like trust and loneliness; material wellbeing, like income adequacy and going without fresh fruit and vegetables to keep costs down; and Māori wellbeing, like connection to iwi and whānau wellbeing.
