Kua p**a te rangahau hou mō ngā kohuki reo Māori. 📝

Te Mātāwai has published a new report called ‘Everyday Experiences of Te Reo Māori Trauma’ by Dr Mohi Rua.

It highlights the barriers caused by trauma that prevent the effective revival of te reo Māori. Participants share their stories of successfully working through trauma in their whānau and these can be a source of inspiration for other whānau to combat the ‘whakamā’ many feel with learning te reo. ❤️

Alcohol causes harm to developing brains. It's important to understand that even a "little bit" of alcohol is not harmless. There is no known safe amount of alcohol for the developing brain. Every drink poses a risk to its future potential, so give your brain the best chance to thrive!
