Meri Kirihimete from the ignite team!

Thank you for being part of our community and for the trust and support you have shown us throughout the year.

A little Christmas reminder as the festive season gets busy: it’s okay to slow down and put your wellbeing first. Amid the catch ups, commitments, and celebrations, self-care can look like stepping outside for some fresh air, saying no to one more plan, going to bed a little earlier, or taking a quiet moment to reset. Small choices like these can help you feel more grounded and enjoy the season more fully.

Christmas lunch conversations can get interesting, especially when Uncle Bob’s political views come out across the table.

In this video, Dr Christina Baird, Psychologist on the ignite platform, shares four practical tips to help you navigate tricky conversations while protecting your wellbeing. She talks about choosing the values you want to lead with, noticing when emotions are driving the conversation, getting curious about what’s really going on underneath, and expressing yourself clearly without inviting an argument.

Grab a cuppa and take a few minutes to pick up some practical tips to help you navigate some of the challenges that can come up during the holidays.

What does holistic wellbeing ACTUALLY mean?

It’s not a buzzword, a fad, or a trend. It’s about supporting the whole person - mental, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual health. When one area is neglected, the rest are affected.

At Ignite, we take a truly holistic approach, helping individuals and organisations thrive, not just cope.

About Ignite Aotearoa

Ignite Aotearoa is a wellbeing social enterprise, backed by Emerge Aotearoa - one of the largest independent mental health organisations in New Zealand. We exist to strengthen community wellbeing by addressing inequity and removing barriers to accessing resources and support.

Our kaupapa meets a vital need for mental health and wellbeing offerings that are evidence-based, fast and easy to access, provide flexible options and cater to a range of budgets. Ignite’s solutions include education, a digital wellbeing platform, and specialised research and evaluation services.

Currently, our focus is partnering with workplaces to enhance employee wellbeing. Over time we will work alongside other groups to deliver next-generation wellbeing solutions, including health providers, schools, iwi and whānau.

Our ultimate aim is to re-invest our profits into providing mental health and wellbeing support for at-risk communities. When you choose to partner with Ignite, you’re supporting a wider vision of a thriving Aotearoa for all.
