🌴 🌺Cook Islands Language Week 2025 🌺🌴

‘Ātui’tui’ia au ki te raurau a tōku matakeinanga
“Connect me to the offerings of my people”

From 3–9 August, we celebrate Cook Islands Language Week- a time to uplift the language, culture, and identity of Cook Islands Māori here in Aotearoa. It’s about reconnecting with our heritage, passing on knowledge, and embracing the rich traditions that shape who we are.

The 2025 theme encourages us to explore the values, wisdom, and taonga (treasures) passed down by our matakeinanga- our communities and ancestors.

Whether you’re Cook Islands Māori or an ally, this is a week to celebrate, learn, and connect. 🇨🇰

🫶💙 International Friendship Day 💙🫶

Today is a reminder of how important genuine friendships are — the people who support you, listen without judgement, and bring a little extra light into your life.

Whether it’s a quick message, a shared laugh, or just being there — those small moments can mean a lot. Strong friendships help us feel connected, valued, and supported. Take some time today to appreciate the people who have your back. 💬✨

🧘‍♀️💫 International Self-Care Day 💫🧘‍♂️

Life can get busy, but you still matter. Taking time to care for yourself, mentally, physically, emotionally, is one of the best things you can do. 💖

Self-care isn’t just bubble baths and face masks (though those are great too!) — it’s about knowing your worth, setting boundaries, resting when you need to, and doing things that fill your cup. 🧃

You deserve to feel good, inside and out. Prioritising you helps build a happier, healthier you. 💪

Waiting for counselling? You’re not alone. 💬💛

We know — waiting can be hard. But it’s also a part of life, and it doesn’t mean you have to pause everything. While you wait, there are things you can do to help look after your mental health: hang with mates, get some sun, eat something decent (choc counts too🍫), get proper sleep, and take some breaks from your screen.

Small things can make a big difference while you wait. And if things get too heavy, don’t sit in it alone, there’s always someone you can reach out to.

You deserve support. Keep going — better days are coming. ☀️

🌻 MAKING THE INVISIBLE VISIBLE 🌻

Not all disabilities can be seen — and that’s where the sunflower comes in! 🌻✨

The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower is a simple way to show others you have a hidden condition or health need and might need a bit more time, space, or help. Whether you’re at school, shopping, travelling, or just out and about, wearing the sunflower means people know to be a bit more patient and understanding.

💛 How to get one: Grab a sunflower lanyard, badge, or card online at hdsunflower.com or check with local airports, stores, or community centres — lots of places give them out for free or for a small cost.

Let’s help make invisible disabilities visible — and spread kindness everywhere! 🌻💚
