“…Researchers have explored the contribution of genetics, infectious diseases, and perinatal malnutrition to explain modifications in our physiological functioning (A. S. Brown & Derkits, 2010;Cloninger, 1999;Harms et al, 2011;Jash & Sharma, 2022;Uher, 2014). Ultimately, these factors appear to contribute to only a portion of the mental health burden, while others have explored the influence of traumatic experiences in both children and adults (Maté, 2012(Maté, , 2022Perry, 2009;Perry et al, 1995). A landmark study by Felliti et al (1998) demonstrated that the adverse social context of a child could predict both long-term physical and mental health struggles.…”

The counseling field, with its grounding in wellness, social justice, and development, is well positioned to adopt a social determinants of mental health framework and lead initiatives to further integrate this type of framework into the larger mental health field. The purpose of this article is to bring together and apply two existing models, the social determinants of mental health and the social determinants of mental disorders, to the field of professional counseling. The authors argue that by adopting this framework, professional counselors will be better positioned to identify and address social determinants of mental health both proximal and distal to their clients and use this to inform direct clinical practice, the design and evaluation of counselor training programs, the development of community‐based intervention programs, counseling research, as well as policy initiatives ranging from the organizational to public policy levels.

“…37 Despite acknowledging that Māori individuals are disproportionately exposed to higher rates of both macro-and micro-trauma, there has been insufficient acknowledgment of the possibility that "illegal" drug use may serve as a mechanism for addressing unmet emotional pain. 38 Additionally, there has been a dearth of discussion regarding the inherent functioning of public systems that perpetuate the disconnection of Māori individuals from their whānau (extended family) and hinder their access to broader society, consequently leading to enduring emotional and psychological distress. It appears the existing literature, and subsequent social or media rhetoric, often portray Māori drug use as a deliberate delinquent action, while neglecting to consider the possibility that Māori individuals may turn to drug use as a coping strategy or a means of pain management.…”

aim: This literature review aims to identify and review through a Kaupapa Māori lens the current knowledge base related to cannabis and methamphetamine, and Māori. methods: A Kaupapa Māori research approach was utilised to identify, review and critique literature about cannabis and methamphetamine in New Zealand. Literature contents were categorised via publication type, population focus, substance focus, research approach, methods used and whether lived experience voices were centralised. Substance engagement was categorised within prevention, use or treatment contexts. results: Thirty literature sources were included in this review. The majority were journal articles, utilised quantitative survey data collection methods, focussed on large population groups and investigated individual characteristics of users of cannabis and/or methamphetamine. Most articles took a general population approach, briefly mentioning Māori, or measured differences in drug use between Māori and others. More recent research led by Māori, or with a critical lens, highlighted the value of focussing on drug use, rather than drug users. conclusions: Understandings of cannabis and methamphetamine use in New Zealand are reliant on research insights and academic literature. Literature focussed mainly on individuals fuels negative stereotypes of Māori and lacks critical Kaupapa Māori insights. To address cannabis and methamphetamine harms experienced by Māori, future research should make an explicit commitment to be of benefit to Māori and implement Kaupapa Māori-consistent research approaches.
