Te Reo Hāpai, a glossary of 200 mental health terms translated into Māori, was the brainchild of Keri Opai. Created two years ago, it's being used in kaupapa Māori mental health, addiction and disability sectors. Among the terms included is 'takiwātanga' for autism - which translates as 'his or her own time and space'.
Keri joins Lynn Freeman to explain how the translations were made, and how Te Reo Hāpai could have wider application.
