💚 While mental health investment has grown, more people are struggling than ever before. Government investment in treatment services alone will never meet demand. It's time for Aotearoa to prioritise mental health and addiction prevention – before more generations suffer.

Denise Kingi-'Ulu'ave reflects on why it's time to shift resources beyond treatment and why urgent prevention action is the missing piece in Aotearoa's mental health response.

💚 Rāmere — Keeping the Mauri Alive | Me Kori Tonu 💚

This week we’ve been celebrating Mental Health Awareness Week and the 5 Ways to Wellbeing.
Today we’re keeping the mauri alive by sharing another moment from Rāapa — Me Kori Tonu | Be Active. 🌿

On Wednesday, Shannon, Becky, and Cayla led a Waka Waka Just Dance challenge, and some of our rōpū Aroha ki te Tāngata jumped straight into the challenge and the mauri flowed! 💚

It was a beautiful reminder that movement connects us — lifting our wairua and strengthening mauri ora.

📹 Check out the video below and feel the wairua, e te whānau!

💚 Mental Health Awareness Week continues! 💚

Our He Papa Mauri Ora – Mauri Ora Wall is filling up beautifully, whānau — each kōrero, photo, and reflection adds to the mauri flowing through our space. 🌿

Even though the week is wrapping up, Mental Health Awareness continues every day.
There’s still time to share a photo or reflection of what you’re doing to fill your cup or feed your mauri over the weekend. 💚

All shared kōrero and contributions will go in the draw on Monday, whānau — let’s fill this wall and keep the mauri flowing whānau!

💚 Rāmere — Me Ako | Keep Learning 💚

Today we focus on Me Ako — the fifth of the 5 Ways to Wellbeing. 🌿
Learning keeps our minds open, our mauri strong, and our connection to Te Ao Māori growing.

Today, Pauly has been supporting our learning — creating space for reflection, kōrero, and growth as we continue to build our understanding together as kaimahi. 💭
Every day is an opportunity to learn something new — from the whānau, from Te Taiao, and from each other.

💬 What’s something you’ve learned this week that’s strengthened your Mauri Ora?
Share it in the comments and help us fill our He Papa Mauri Ora – Mauri Ora Wall.
Everyone who shares will go in the draw to win one of our Hauora Packs — we’ll draw the winners on Monday! 💚

💚 Rāpare — Me Aro Tonu | Take Notice 💚

Today, we focus on Me Aro Tonu — the fourth of the 5 Ways to Wellbeing. 🌿

This kaupapa reminds us to pause and take notice — to be mindful of the moments, rhythms, and energies that guide us.

We’ve been taking notice of the maramataka, the Māori lunar calendar, which helps us understand the natural flow of energy through each phase of the moon. 🌕
Some days call for reflection and stillness; others for action, connection, and creativity.

When we align with these rhythms, our mauri feels more balanced — grounded in Te Taiao and responsive to what each day brings.

💬 How do you like to slow down and take notice — of yourself, others, or the world around you?

Share it in the comments and help us fill our He Papa Mauri Ora – Mauri Ora Wall.

Everyone who shares will go in the draw to win one of our Hauora Packs! 💚
