The kaupapa in this session
First 1,000 days
Te Hiringa Hauora takes a life-course approach to health promotion. That means focusing on a healthy start to life and supporting people at critical points across their lifetime to keep them well.
Understanding what matters most to people helps to design a better system.
An important part of our First 1,000 Days programme, is how we partner, support and learn from communities as they design solutions for their own wellbeing challenges.
Karawhiua
Karawhiua was created to empower whānau to make informed decisions about their health and wellbeing; encouraging Māori to actively seek information to make vaccination decisions.
A core pou to this campaign has been to support and supplement local activations by providing co-branding and marketing assets, advice and support, and a trusted website (including mapping function) to amplify and tautāwhi the amazing work across the motu.
Mana Pasifika
Mana Pasifika is a mental wellbeing approach formed by a collaboration that included Te Hiringa Hauora, Mapu Maia, Vaka Tautua, the Mental Health Foundation, Pasifika health leaders and agency Dioscuri.
The approach was born during the first lockdown as a need to address the psychosocial impacts among Pasifika peoples, and has since morphed into a general mental wellbeing approach led by, for and with communities and sharers.
