We’re excited to be enrolling for a new round of our Psychological Skills Group – a supportive program designed to help people build emotional life skills and live a more satisfying life.

🌺 Uike Kātoanga’i ‘o e Lea Faka-Tonga – Tongan Language Week 2025 🌺

This week we celebrate the richness of Tongan language and culture, and the important role they play in health, wellbeing, and community connection.

The theme for this year reminds us that language is more than words – it’s how we share knowledge, strengthen identity, and support each other’s hauora (health).

Take the opportunity to greet someone with a cheerful “Mālō e lelei”, learn a new phrase, or join a local celebration. Every small step helps keep the language and culture strong for future generations. 💙❤️

Mālō ‘aupito – thank you to all who keep the Tongan language alive and thriving in Aotearoa.

🌿 Persistent Pain Service Update 🌿

We’ve completed our first year of the funded Persistent Pain Service, and the results show people are benefiting from our transdisciplinary approach.

With a short pause before new funding begins, we’re taking this time to refresh the programme using what we’ve learned. For now, funded Physiotherapy is still available to coordinate intake and provide musculoskeletal consults.

Later this year, we’ll relaunch the full service with Physiotherapy, Clinical Social Work, Psychology, and Nurse Education, continuing as a small, time-limited programme designed to make a real difference.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey so far – we’re excited for what’s ahead! 💙

🛡️ Protect Yourself from Shingles – Get the Shingrix Vaccine 🛡️

Shingles is a painful rash caused by the reawakening of the chickenpox virus (varicella-zoster) that lies dormant in your body. It can strike years after you've had chickenpox — often without warning.

👵 Who gets shingles?
Anyone who has had chickenpox can develop shingles, but it’s most common in people aged 50 and over, and in those with weakened immune systems.

😣 What are the symptoms?
A painful, blistering rash (usually on one side of the body)
Tingling, burning, or itching in the area before the rash appears
Fatigue, headache, and sensitivity to light
Pain can linger for months or even years (a condition called post-herpetic neuralgia)

💉 Shingrix is a highly effective vaccine that helps prevent shingles and its complications. It's available in New Zealand for free for People aged 65

Protect your future self. Ask us about Shingrix today.

🌱 Why Community Connection Matters 🤝

When we feel connected to our community, we’re less likely to feel isolated — and far more likely to have a solid support system during tough times. Whether it's lending a hand or simply sharing a cuppa, strong local connections can make a real difference to your wellbeing.

🔹 People with a strong sense of community belonging are 3x more likely to report excellent mental health
🔹 According to Te Whare Tapa Whā, taha whānau (social connection) is a vital pillar of our overall wellbeing
🔹 Whānau isn’t just family — it includes friends, colleagues, neighbours, and everyone who helps you feel like you belong

💡 Start small: say hi to your neighbour, join a local group, or volunteer at a community event. Even a simple conversation can spark something meaningful.

Together, we can create a stronger, more caring community 💚

❤️👴Cardiovascular Disease in Men – Know the Risks, Take Action 👨❤️

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for men in Aotearoa New Zealand — but it’s often preventable.

🔎 Risk factors include:
High blood pressure
High cholesterol
Smoking
Diabetes
Being overweight
Lack of physical activity
A family history of heart disease

💪 The good news? There’s a lot you can do to lower your risk:
✅ Eat a balanced diet
✅ Stay active
✅ Quit smoking
✅ Limit alcohol
✅ Manage stress
✅ Get regular health checks

🔎Early detection is key.
Many heart conditions have no obvious symptoms until it’s serious. That’s why regular check-ups with your doctor are so important—especially if you’re over 45 or have a family history.

Don’t wait for a warning sign. Take charge of your heart health today—for yourself and for those who love you. ❤️

🖐️ Wash away winter bugs! ❄️🤧

One of the easiest (and most effective!) ways to stop the spread of colds and flu this winter is simple: wash your hands.

Germs love to hang out on things we touch every day — door handles, phones, keyboards, shopping trolleys. Then, all it takes is a quick rub of your eyes, nose, or mouth, and boom — you’re sick. 🤒

Wash your hands regularly with soap and water, especially after coughing, sneezing, blowing your nose, or being out in public. A good scrub takes 20 seconds — about the time it takes to sing Happy Birthday twice! 🎶🎂

Clean hands = fewer germs = a healthier winter for everyone. Let’s keep the bugs at bay! ✨

💬 Talking About Mental Health – It’s OK to Start the Conversation 💬

Talking about mental health can feel hard – but it doesn’t have to be. You don’t need to be a counsellor or have all the answers. You just need to be empathetic, present, and willing to listen. ❤️

Here are some simple tips to help you support someone you're worried about:

✅ Talk often – make mental wellbeing part of everyday conversations.
✅ Check in with yourself – are you in the right space to have this kōrero?
✅ Choose the right time & place – somewhere calm and comfortable.
✅ Ask gently, but directly – try “How are you really feeling?” or “What’s been going on lately?”
✅ Listen without judgment – acknowledge their feelings without minimising them.
✅ Offer reassurance & support – remind them they’re not alone.
✅ Help them find support – offer to sit with them while they call a GP or helpline, or check in afterward.

Even if someone isn’t ready to talk yet, letting them know you’re there can make a huge difference. 💛

Let’s break the silence and support each other – one conversation at a time.
