Whānau Whanui (Māori Public Health) is a regional public health collective consisting of Raukura Hauora o Tainui, Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Whātua, Te Whānau o Waipareira and Hāpai Te Hauora.
Through fortnightly meetings, the collective together advances public health and continues the legacy of our tupuna by creating environments in which whānau and communities thrive in the areas of: tihei mauri ora (reducing tobacco use), kia maarie (reducing drug and alcohol use), whai ao (improving nutrition & exercise) and tamariki ora (wellchild health promotion).

The 2nd - 8th of August was Breastfeeding Awareness Week. Breastmilk is the nourishment of life for our youngest and most precious, however, breastfeeding can be difficult for both māmā and pēpi to get used to and learn. Breastfeeding is an incredibly beautiful experience, but it is not without its challenges, so it is important for whānau to have the right information and support.
