Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa.
Hello and welcome to the May 2020 NZEIPS newsletter. It has certainly been strange and challenging times for the past couple of months, here in Aotearoa New Zealand, and across the globe.
Although we are fortunate in NZ to be moving out of lockdown, we also acknowledge how challenging this period has been, and will still be, for many people in NZ. This includes some of our Early Intervention Whānau – be that young people experiencing psychosis, their families and friends, or the services and workers supporting them.
As we adjust into our ‘new normal’ we are sure that people are looking forward to getting back into delivering core EIP interventions and support. We know that things have been difficult and services hugely disrupted, but that there has also been tremendous resilience and creativity through this time. We invite you to complete a short survey on your experiences of delivering EIP during the lockdown here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/KMWCNQX
