Wh膩nau Ora Coordinator, Purapura Whetu
鈥淚鈥檓 working for Purapura Whetu, which is a M膩ori based mental health organisation. We work from a Kaupapa M膩ori perspective, so we integrate M膩ori philosophies into our treatment and try to make our clients feel more connected to their M膩ori side. It鈥檚 less clinical than what you get from mainstream mental health organisations.
At UC I learned skills that I use everyday in my job, like organisational skills, communication skills, professionalism and knowledge of physical activity. I walked away from uni being able to implement really strong life skills into my working practice.鈥
