Wellbeing Enablers

These enablers have been revealed through evidence and insights from across the SASWB workplan. They are constants in our work and relevant to reorienting the system.

Flexible - Flexibility is integral to re-orientating system focus and resource. Flexibility needs to be built into contracts, resourcing and ways to of working to enable wellbeing.

‘Do what it takes’ - There has often been a gap between what the system currently resources and the steps that need to be taken to support whānau. There is a need to ensure that the system supports ‘doing what it takes’ to rectify this gap.

Collaborative - the value of collaboration is ingrained in the SASWB story. It has been an important aspect in many of the SASWB prototypes. Collaboration enables collective action.
