Answer

I am advised by Oranga Tamariki the new Military-Style Academy programme includes a larger clinical team, enabling individual therapeutic intervention and support and case management. I am further advised support from the clinical team has been designed to provide continuity from the residential phase and continue into the community phase, with therapeutic support being provided both in-person and remotely.
