Our tīpuna travelled around Te Waipounamu and beyond using the network of rivers, streams, lakes and oceans. To navigate these waters, an in-depth understanding of their currents, hazards, and weather patterns was required.

At Te Pūtahitanga o Te Waipounamu we fund Whānau Ora Navigators who work closely with whānau to understand where they want to go and they work together with whānau to get them there.

They help whānau identify services, education providers, employment, or business opportunities that can help whānau achieve their dreams and aspirations. Whānau Ora Navigators support whānau to:

  • Work their way with them through crisis and link them to the appropriate services
  • Understand services and ensuring whānau needs are addressed in a holistic way
  • Develop a step-by-step plan to achieve their goals and aspirations
  • Identify whānau strengths and support networks
  • Reduce any risk of harm to whānau
  • Uplift their mana and create opportunities for cultural connectedness.
