In January 2025, Te Pou provided a series of professional development trainings for health improvement practitioners (HIPs), health coaches and support workers who are employed in an IPMHA-funded role in primary care or community settings. The trainings were informed by sector feedback on the need for ongoing professional development for these roles. Three trainings were made available:
- Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (FACT) training six workshops (three for HIPs and three for health coaches and support workers)
- Pūrākau and Motivational Interviewing (MI) six workshops for HIPs, health coaches and support workers
- Peer supervision skills training for support workers two workshops for support workers.
This report summarises feedback from people who attended the workshops.
It includes self-reported increases in trainees’ knowledge, understanding, skills, and confidence after the workshop as well as their intention to apply their learning from the training in their work.
