🚶‍♀️ Taha Tinana | Physical wellbeing supports mental wellbeing
Looking after your tinana doesn’t have to be complicated.
Gentle movement, regular kai, hydration, sleep, and rest all help support your mental health.

Small, consistent acts of care can strengthen this wall of your whare over time.

✨ Taha Wairua | Caring for your spirit
Taha wairua speaks to identity, belonging, and meaning.
For many of us, this is strengthened through whakapapa, te reo Māori, karakia, time in nature, or moments of stillness.
When your wairua is nourished, it supports your hinengaro and the whole whare

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Taha Whānau | Staying connected
Strong connections help hold up our whare.

Checking in on whānau, friends, or kaumātua can make a real difference to someone’s day.
📲 Tag someone you’d like to check in on today or send them a private message to let them know you’re thinking of them.

🧠 Taha Hinengaro | Mental & emotional wellbeing

Taha hinengaro is about our thoughts, emotions, and how we cope with life’s pressures.
Stress, sadness, and overwhelm are part of being human, especially when carrying responsibilities for whānau and community.
Taking time to rest your mind, kōrero with someone you trust, or seek tautoko is a strength, not a weakness.

🌿 Mental Health Awareness | Te Whare Tapa Whā 🌿
Our hauora is like a whare, when each wall is supported, we are supported.
This February, Te Moana a Toi is focusing on Te Whare Tapa Whā, a Māori model of wellbeing that recognises the connection between hinengaro, whānau, wairua, and tinana.
Looking after our mental health means caring for the whole whare, not just one wall.

Te rā o Waitangi
Waitangi Day marks the signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi in 1840, a foundational agreement between Māori and the Crown. It is a day to reflect on our shared history, honour Te Tiriti, and recommit to its principles of partnership, protection, and participation.
For Te Moana a Toi, Te Tiriti continues to guide our mahi as we work alongside iwi and communities to support hauora and wellbeing across the rohe.

What do Te Moana a Toi whānau days look like?
✨ He rā whakanuia mo ngā kaumātua ✨
Our team attended the Kaumātua Whakanuia hosted by Tūwharetoa ki Kawerau Hau Ora at the Kawerau Town Hall.
The hall was buzzing all day with aroha, waiata and incredible performances from six rōpū across the rohe, a true celebration of our kaumātua, identity and wellbeing.
Around 250–300 people gathered to enjoy whakawhanaungatanga, entertainment, and kōrero about hauora.
A big mihi to Nikorima Broughton and the team for bringing the community together in such a powerful way.
Ngā mihi to everyone who shared their voices, stories, and presence

Kaumātua pride was shining. 💛👵🏽🧓🏽

💙 A community day full of aroha and support 💙

Aunty Peep joined Waiariki whānau mentoring at their Hauora Day, a full whānau event with mirimiri, health checks, stalls, kai, kids’ activities, grooming services, and even free laundry support from Orange Sky.
Our Whānau Voice stall had strong engagement throughout the day and the hamper giveaway was won by someone who had recently experienced a house fire. A moment of real community uplift.
Big mihi to Waata Heathcote and the Waiariki team for their ongoing tautoko and leadership. Their commitment to wellbeing, peace (āio), and whānau care is felt by everyone who walks through their doors.
This is what community-led hauora looks like, practical, warm, and full of manaakitanga. 🌟

Cancer Awareness for Our People 💛

Did you know…
Māori are more likely than non-Māori to be diagnosed with cancers such as breast, liver, lung, pancreatic, stomach and uterine.
Meanwhile, non-Māori are more likely to be diagnosed with melanoma and prostate cancer.
⭐ So what does this mean for us as Māori?

It means staying alert, knowing the signs, and getting checked early can make a huge difference.
It means talking openly with our whānau.
It means putting our hauora first, because our lives, our mokopuna, and our future matter.
👉 Check-ups save lives.
👉 Healthy kai and active living help protect us.
👉 Early detection is everything.
Let’s awhina each other to stay well.

What do Te Moana a Toi whānau days look like?
💛 Hauora kaupapa at Te Mānukatūtahi 💛

Te Moana a Toi IMPB joined the Rā Hauora hosted at the beautiful Te Mānukatūtahi Marae in Whakatāne.
The day was filled with health checks, screening services, kaumātua support, and kōrero for whānau of all ages.

From bowel screening to diabetes checks, heart health, and Kahu Taurima, whānau were able to access support in a relaxed, welcoming marae setting.
Attendance was strong, and we know next year will be even bigger as more whānau hear about the kaupapa.

Huge mihi to all health providers who brought services directly to the people.
Hauora on the marae is hauora in the heart of our communities. 🤍
