Non-clinical day programme providers in Southern
There are eleven non-clinical community- based day services, who receive funding from Te Whatu Ora.
Co-design with our community for our community
Between January and May 2023, tāngata whaiora who attend non- clinical day programmes, the community, and providers of non-clinical day programmes all supported a co-design process of the new model of care for non-clinical day programmes. A model of care describes what type of services we need, and how they need to work.
There was extensive engagement including sixteen group listening sessions, four provider sessions and eight feedback sessions,
From the feedback a model of care for non-clinical day programmes in Southern based on what service users, the community and providers have told us they want was released in May 2023.
It builds on a strengths-based approach. People will be supported to find and build on their strengths through a range of non-clinical activities.
The model of care can be read here.
What has been happening since the new model of care was released?
Since May, all contracted day programme providers have been required to move towards the new model of care.
A review of the progress with implementation of the new model of care is planned.
