Tiaki Whānau, Tiaki Ora:
The Orientation Training day is a full-day training workshop for prospective whānau champions to learn about the Tiaki Whānau, Tiaki Ora programme, roles, resources & responsibilities.
Tiaki Whānau, Tiaki Ora resources have been developed that promote key messages and strategies to build healthy whānau and prevent suicide.
This is a free training. You can decide after the training if you want to share these resources with whānau by becoming a Whānau Champion.
*PLEASE BRING two forms of ID to the training (in case you decide to support your whānau by being a Whānau Champion)
What is it?
Tiaki Whanau Tiaki Ora is a suicide prevention programme developed by Te Rau Ora that aims to build healthy whānau by increasing their awareness of risk factors to suicide and the strategies that will strengthen whānau resilience and wellbeing.
We know suicide is not an easy topic to approach or discuss, however, we have developed tools and resources to help us do so safely.
During the wānanga
This wānanga is an orientation to the Tiaki Whānau Tiaki Ora programme and provides an opportunity and space for attendees to share and discuss this kaupapa and consider how we as whānau can support one another. We are strong believers that solutions lie within whānau and when given the tools and resources they can flourish.
It is our intention to sign on Whānau Champions (from those who attend), to share specially tailored suicide prevention toolkits with their whānau.
