Health promotion opportunities and resources

The Starship Foundation have launched a new app Village. Founded on the basis that it takes a village to raise a child this App has been developed to connect 13 to 25 year olds to connect them with trusted friends and whanau, so they don’t have to go it alone. Clinically researched and developed by Starship experts in collaboration with rangatahi and whanau, Village is a safe space for young people to process and share their feelings with a trusted network, when and how often they like. With Village, young people take control of their own wellbeing. www.villageapp.kiwi.

Credentialing Info/Updates

As we are starting to get more contacts from nurses that completed programmes across 2020-2021, we continue to provide zoom drop in meetings to assist nurses to complete their credentialing applications. Our amnesty on applications will continue for another 3 months and we are keen to hear from nurses who have completed a programme and still wish to complete their credential. Details of the drop in links and times are on your PIO frontpage or please contact us at credentialing@nzcmhn.org.nz
