Midland Region DHBs Mental Health & Addictions Substance Addiction (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Legislation Implementation Workshops:

From 21 February 2018, the new Substance Addiction (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Legislation (SAL) will come into effect. The new legislation will replace the earlier Alcoholism and Addiction Act and will have a number of implications forproviders within the Mental Health and Addictions field. Over several months, NGOs and DHBs from across the Midland Region have contributed to the development of a Model of Care for services to work with the legislation.

“In order to prepare for the implementation of the new legislation, the Midland Region Mental Health & Addictions Teamwould like to invite expressions of interestfrom local stakeholders to attend our SAL Implementation Workshops, in each MidlandDHB area.”

(Eseta Nonu-Reid, Director MRMH&A)

Following the MoH / Matua Raḵi presentation (Hamilton on 15 August 2017), theMidland workshops will follow a similar format, with amore bespoke approach to each area’s specific, local need. The workshops will run for 2 - 2.5 hours, and will be open to 15-25 attendees from across the MH&A sector.

Important considerations for Workshop attendance:

In order to be able to participate fully in the workshops, we recommend that each participant undertake the Matua Raḵi SAL e-learning module. This can be found at:

It will also be useful for participants to discuss the SAL related issues that were raised in the consultation workshops held in each area in 2016.

We have provided options to choose from for workshop attendance, where we are unable to meet participant’s first option we will endeavour to meet the other choices.
