Are you a frontline worker, a health professional or practitioner of a service who supports Women and their whānau?

Could you say that your practice or service ensures an approach where women and their whānau are safe from mental distress, suicide, family violence?

If these questions have prompted your interest – you will be interested in Tiakina te Āhuru Mōwai Wānanga.

Background

We understand women may present to various agencies with different physical, mental health problems, and may be screened about family violence. Yet most protocols will not ascertain risk of self-harm and suicide, or have a consideration of her mental health or that of her whānau. Nor recognise that the help-seeking behaviour may be a sign of heightened risk.

The aim of Tiakina te Āhuru Mōwai is to develop strong reflective practitioners who place the Wahine and her whānau at the centre of their practice.

The training programme is built on the practice evidence of Māori experts who have dedicated careers to working with Māori women and their whānau.
