We know parents are feeling anxious about measles right now, especially those with pēpi under 12 months 👶

Here’s what you need to know:
• Pēpi under 12 months aren’t routinely vaccinated against measles.
• If your pēpi is travelling overseas or has been in close contact with someone who has measles, talk to your GP. They can prescribe the vaccine as early as 4 months if needed.
• Pēpi who get an early dose will still need two more MMR vaccines at 12 and 15 months.
• The best protection for your pēpi is making sure everyone in the whānau around them is vaccinated.

If you’re worried or unsure, you can always call on 0800 933 922 for advice. Let’s protect our pēpi together 💜

🌿 Walking Beside Whānau: Aruhe’s Story

For Aruhe, healing begins with connection. It’s not about quick fixes — it’s about creating a space where people feel safe, seen, and heard.

She says, “For me, it’s about listening first. When people feel safe, the real kōrero begins.”

Trust grows in the small moments — sitting kanohi ki te kanohi, sharing a coffee, driving together, or simply being present. That’s where the real change starts.

Aruhe once supported someone who had carried heavy challenges for years. When they finally felt safe enough to open up, that moment of trust became the turning point for real healing.

✨ Health coaching with Aruhe is about dignity, connection, and helping whānau rediscover their strength and resilience.

Bringing more focus to your mental wellbeing doesn't have to be super complicated. In fact, there are five simple things proven to help you do this. They're called the Five Ways to Wellbeing and include seeking connection with others, giving, being active, taking notice of the world around you, and continuing to learn throughout life.

Here are some examples of ways you could bring these into your life this , especially with the people you care about:

🌟 Connect - send that “just thinking of you” message.
🎁 Give - share your snacks. Or your Spotify playlist.
🏃‍♂️ Be active - dance together in your kitchen. Walk the long way home.
👀 Take notice - spot something beautiful. Share it out loud with your family.
📚 Keep learning - ask questions. Try something new with a friend. Fail gloriously!

And if no one’s told you today: you matter, you’re appreciated, you’re someone’s reason to smile.

💜 HE KŌRERO MŌ TE KAUPAPA 💜

“Have conversations with your whānau and friends about each other’s health and keep those conversations up.
Respect your role as a kaihaka. Respect kapa haka; the art form that creates discipline, teamwork, commitment and that entices passion, energy, and power — because you never know when your last stand will be.”
– Talei Morrison ✨

E te whānau, our giveaways and games over the last few days have been building towards this kaupapa, a kaupapa born from Talei’s vision and carried on by her whānau.

👉 This Saturday 30 August, we gather at Taharangi Marae for Smear Your OWN Mea.
A day to celebrate hauora, wāhine, and whānau☆together.

📅 Save the date. Bring your whānau.
💜 Hauora for our wāhine, hauora for our whānau.
