Māori Concepts of Health Promotion workshop
Feedback on our Blenheim workshop facilitated by Trevor Simpson was overwhelmingly positive with everyone finding the workshop of value to their work and brought new understandings to their health promotion skills and knowledge.
The aim of this workshop is to introduce participants to shared understandings of traditional Māori concepts, ideologies and practices in relation to health and wellbeing. Additionally the workshop will consider how these ideas may be used to inform contemporary approaches to Māori Health Promotion planning, implementation and evaluation.
This programme will provide a basis for discussion in terms of what constitutes a well Māori community and whether traditional knowledge has the potential to elevate Māori health status and improve Māori health outcomes.
Contact HPF if you would like this workshop run in your region.
Pacific Health Promotion Workshop
A very well received workshop was delivered by Viliami Puloka in Christchurch in October and this workshop is sure to be offered again in the next six months.
The aim of this workshop is to equip senior Pasifika health promoters and community leaders with the knowledge and tools that will enable to address the onslaught of non-communicable diseases 9NCDs) and work with the strengths, potentials and aspirations of Pasifika families and communities to advance spiritually, mentally, socially, economically and culturally.
The workshop traces the history of 'Pacific health promotion' in Aotearoa New Zealand and discusses how determinants of health can be addressed to produce health equity, wellbeing and success for Pacific peoples.
This workshop is primarily designed for Pacific health workers, Pacific community workers, and Pacific community leaders. Non-Pacific health workers that are working with Pacific communities are encouraged to join this workshop.
