Foreword
Kia ora and welcome. In this winter edition of MindNet we look at different approaches and understandings of holistic mental health.
Our guest editorial comes from Deb Christensen who asks whether whole-listic holistic mental health services exist, and what they might look like.
We also look at the mental health experiences of migrant mothers, and the role of spirituality and physical activity in mental health. Other articles feature the role of the church in suicide prevention in Pacific communities, and a holistic service in Hamilton for women experiencing depression, called IRIS.
Please enjoy this edition of MindNet.
