Keeping it Real | Kia Pono te Tika framework

The Keeping it Real | Kia Pono te Tika framework describes the values, attitudes, knowledge, and skills required for working effectively alongside tāngata whai ora and whānau experiencing addiction and/or mental health challenges.

The framework reflects the Aotearoa New Zealand context and contemporary best practice. It complements professional competency frameworks and provides a foundational approach for kaimahi who are not guided by a professional competency framework.

The hard copy framework is a 44-page A4 booklet.
