Take Notice - Mental Health and Addiction

Nau mai, haere mai to our He Puāwai Manukura ki Virtual rōpū for October 2024! An awesome morning filled with insightful kōrero & whanaungatanga as we welcomed 8 whānau into the kaupapa alongside co-facilitator, Debra. We're looking forward to Friday's wānanga already and can't wait to build on these connections over the next 4 weeks together ✨ #hepuawaimanukura #takenotice #livedexperience #peersupport #traininganddevelopment

🎓 Huge congratulations to our He Puāwai Manukura ki Virtual, November / December rōpū who graduated and rounded off the final wānanga for the year, this morning! We have thoroughly enjoyed all of the insightful & inspiring kōrero, gems, and laughter that has been shared across the last four weeks together. It has been a joy to share space with this great group and welcome Richard (October virtual rōpū) back, along with facilitators, Debra, Tui, and Lisa 🌞 Sadly missing Scarlett, Aaron, and Pamela, from our final pic but we look forward to connecting with them and others in future catch-up wānanga. Congratulations again, whānau - and thanks to everyone for an awesome year of He Puāwai Manukura. We’re looking forward to heading into a relaxing festive season & keeping you all in the loop regarding 2025 ⭐️ ‘Ko ngā pae tawhiti whaia kia tata, ko ngā pae tata, whakamaua kia tina’ ‘The potential of tomorrow depends on what we do today’ #hepuawaimanukura #takenotice #livedexperience #peersupport #traininganddevelopment

A brilliant start to the morning exploring the value of whanaungatanga and welcoming another 9 whānau into He Puāwai Manukura! Our November / December virtual cohort is our 21st rōpū to come into the kaupapa and our final for this year. It is hard to believe how quickly the last 18 months have zoomed by, but we are incredibly grateful for all of the amazing people that we have met (and continue to meet) along this journey 🌟 We're looking forward to rounding off the year with lots of laughs, learning and rich kōrero with this great group! Welcome all and bring on the next four weeks together. #hepuawaimanukura #takenotice #livedexperience #peersupport #traininganddevelopment

Stopping to pause before we head into Mental Health Awareness Week, this week, to reflect on the blessings of the last week celebrating Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori across our mahi: ⭐️ Exploring Te Tiriti with our He Puāwai Manukura whānau in rua wiki of the programme. ⭐️ Delivering a Mental Health First Aid Aotearoa refresher to the kaimahi at Downer, where we emphasise self care and holistic wellbeing with Te Whare Tapa Whā. Our director, Kerri Butler, was also warmly welcomed to Temuka with sunshine and the ataahua manaaki of Arowhenua Whānau Services where she met with whānau whaiora and kaimahi. She summed the visit up with this comment: “Mihi kia koutou!! Shout out to Elly, Jo, Korianna, Juanita, for the aroha me manaaki and the pukapuka that I will treasure. Such a beautiful service and I felt the aroha the minute I walked through the door. Such an honour to share in karakia with the whānau and to be uplifted by the ihi and aroha of the waiata”

A great start to the week yesterday as we welcomed another 7 whānau (and furry friends) into He Puāwai Manukura! Lots of rich whanaungatanga and looking forward to exploring these connections more & looking deeper into TetraMap on Thursday morning together 🌟 Nau mai, haere mai to our September virtual rōpū! #hepuawaimanukura #takenotice #traininganddevelopment #livedexperience #peersupport
