Whanau Connection

Building personalised connections

Wider Connections encompass the interrelated aspects

of other tings like finances, sexual health, and sexual identity,

recognising that these areas significantly impact overall wellness.

This initiative aims to foster a supportive environment where

rangatahi, whaiora, and whānau

can engage in meaningful discussions, share resources, and

build connections that empower them to navigate life’s challenges.

Wider Connections Reccomendations

  • Establish daily or weekly habits that involve connecting with your environment, such as morning walks, mindfulness practices, or family gatherings that celebrate nature and wellness.

  • Designate a specific area for creativity and self-expression, whether it's for art, writing, or other hobbies. This space should inspire you and allow for personal reflection and growth.

  • Create a gratitude corner in your home where you can display notes or drawings that remind you of the things you are thankful for, fostering a positive mindset.

  • Attend or organise workshops focused on financial education, covering topics such as budgeting, saving, and investing. Empower yourself and your whānau with knowledge to make informed financial decisions.

  • Create spaces for self-exploration related to sexual identity. This could include support groups, creative workshops, or open forums where individuals can share their journeys and celebrate diversity.

  • Encourage participation in educational pathways that focus on health sciences, social work, or financial planning. This can empower individuals to become advocates and educators in their communities.
