Meth, the Mob, and Mental Health - Barriers for Gang Members Seeking Addiction Help | The Hui 2022

Bonus Atkins was just 24, and much loved, when he took his life, becoming yet another statistic in the high rate of suicide amongst gang affiliated rangatahi. Collective grief has now brought together a community working to improve access to mental health for gang whānau, and Māori inmates.  Bonus' partner Jade Taare, psychologist Dr Armon Tamatea, and Corrections' Emma Gardner talk about the issue.

Made with support from Te Māngai Pāho and NZ On Air.
