Transformational!
The 2022 evaluation of Mitey concludes that the progress made by Mitey in schools in just 18 months is quite exceptional and points to an approach that has the potential to radically alter the landscape of mental health education in Aotearoa.
The Evaluation
The University of Auckland evaluated Mitey in 6 schools over 18 months interviewing teachers, principals and children. Mitey was described as a cutting-edge, unique approach specifically designed for New Zealand schools that had initiated meaningful and significant change toward effective mental health education in all schools.
'Mitey has provided the impetus for ākonga to recognise and develop an awareness of their own and other people’s mental health and they have developed skills to support their own and others’ mental wellbeing'.
