The development of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS)that meet the needs of Maori (indigenous people of Aotearoa/ New Zealand) is critical. This study, Te Tomokanga, investigated the acceptability of mainstream1, bicultural,2 and kaupapa Māori3 CAMHS access and delivery to young Māori and their whānau.4 Detailed factors contributing to potential areas for improvement are identified in this examination. This includes, most specifically, a cultural framework based on the traditional Māori Pōwhiri process of access and engagement provided by a culturally relevant workforce.
