In this Whāriki webinar, Healthy Families kaimahi Ripeka Davis and Chy Potaka-Osborne joined Alex Woodley and Nadine Metzger from Point and Associates to unpack toxic stress, its impacts on tamariki, whānau and communities, and collective actions for safer, more supportive environments.

Toxic Stress Symposium #2 examined how toxic stress affects health and wellbeing, with Point Research, community, and kaimahi discussing collective actions to tackle root causes such as poverty, food insecurity, and family violence.

Through Rūnāia, whānau share powerful stories of overcoming addiction, mental health struggles, and disconnection. Their testimonies show how this kaupapa is helping people heal, reconnect with te ao Māori, and find pride and hope in their journeys.

A special Māmā’s Day video honours māmā with heartfelt dedications from our kaimahi and community - a celebration of aroha and gratitude.

Te Oranganui kaimahi came together with Dr Veronica Tawhai at the Te Tiriti Symposium, sharing reflections on the deeper truths of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and how this knowledge strengthens cultural resilience today.
