Since the arrival of visitors to Aotearoa, Māori have always been quick to assess and adapt language, technology and information. Contemporary society brings new languages, technology and information instantly to our fingertips. New pressures and demands can be a consequence of readily accessible knowledge. For all its advances, there are also disadvantages. For rangatahi, those with addictions and Māori whānau connections and wellbeing can be negatively affected.
This programme of research investigates examples of Māori approaches to social wellbeing. Through a series of research activities undertaken by the research team, a case study will emerge reflective of collaborative interactions with key stakeholder organisations. Utilising qualitative methods such as key informant, wānanga, hui, photo elicitation and go along interviews, the research is primed to capitalise on the collaborative relationships to affect national policy and regional service delivery.

Ko Hāmua, ko Ngāti Mura, ko Te Mahurehure ngā hapū. Ko Waikirikiri, ko Te Putere o Potaka, ko Te Rewarewa ngā marae. Ko Tūhoe te iwi. I have spent more than 30 years in Māori education as a teacher, Deputy Principal, and for over a decade as Tumuaki of Te Wharekura o Rūātoki, building a kura where tamariki, whānau, and staff felt safe, valued, and connected to who they are. Grounded in te reo Māori, tikanga, and mātauranga Māori, my leadership has always centred on one belief: when people feel seen, and their strengths are recognised, they are capable of extraordinary things. Along the way, I… -
