CPR & First Aid for Whānau

Join us this Thursday 11th June for a free two-hour workshop aimed at parents, grandparents, and caregivers wanting to feel more confident in an emergency. The session centres on caring for pēpi and tamariki, covering hands-on guidance with CPR, how to use an AED, and what to do if a child is choking, having a seizure, or dealing with everyday injuries or illness.

We’ll also go over key warning signs for conditions such as RSV, meningitis, and anaphylaxis, plus who to contact and where to get support when it matters most.
It’s all about helping our whānau feel ready, supported, and equipped for whatever comes their way.

Pink Shirt Day X Awarua Whānau Services 🩷

Pink Shirt Day is about standing up to bullying and looking out for each other, something we try to carry with us every day in our mahi and our hapori.

It’s a good reminder for all of us to speak up, stand together, and look out for one another!

We’d love to see your whānau getting involved too! Drop a photo of you and your tamariki in your pink shirts in the comments 👇
