Building Awesome Whānau

Building Awesome Whānau draws on the wisdom of mātauranga Māori and the best of Toolbox to offer you and your family a kaupapa that is uniquely Aotearoa. Designed for whānau raising children aged 0-12, this course can be delivered over a number of weeks, or as a wānanga. Some familiar faces have helped us to create this resource so it’s packed full of great ideas, positive stories from parents still on the journey with their own tamariki and practical ideas to help you. Your facilitator will draw on the wealth of wisdom and experiences present in the group, and weave that together with all that is Building Awesome Whānau, so that you are supported and encouraged as you awhi (nurture) and build your awesome whānau. What’s covered in the six sessions? Session 1 – Laying the foundations – building your family on aroha Session 2 – Parents are the roof – protecting your whānau Session 3 – The walls of the whare – boundaries to keep the good stuff in and the bad stuff out Session 4 – Keeping it sweet – atmosphere is everything Session 5 – Cool kōrero! – communication Session 6 – Outside the whare – living in the big wide world This workshop is delivered by Glen Innes Family Centre.
