Nōku te Ao Partners Wānanga

It's not often that all of our partners across the movement come together, ā tinana, but when we do, the kōrero is robust and full of inspiration and action. At the end of May, over three days of wānanga, kaimahi from our social action grants, social movement, education for social change, and media engagement partnerships gathered alongside our lived experience rōpū. Together, we reflected on the impact we’ve made so far, and looked ahead to what still needs to be done in our collective journey to end stigma and discrimination around mental distress in Aotearoa.

We were privileged to be joined by Matua Tau, Caren, and Tanya from Te Whatu Ora, who continue to walk alongside us with deep care and commitment.

One of the big pātai that shaped our time together was this: How do we capture the story of this movement and the thousands we’ve walked with along the way?
