What an incredible Mana Wāhine Day!
More than 70 wāhine came through the doors to access health, wellbeing, and support services, while taking time to prioritise their own hauora in a welcoming and empowering environment.
From cervical screening and health checks to mirimiri, self-care services, wellbeing support, and meaningful kōrero, the day was filled with connection, learning, and opportunities for wāhine to focus on themselves.
Supported by 10 dedicated volunteers and a wide range of providers, the event created a trusted space where wāhine could access services, ask questions, and make informed decisions about their health and wellbeing.
🩷 One attendee shared, "There needs to be more events like this. It's a huge help to the community."
🩷 Another reflected on how valuable it was to have a space dedicated to wāhine, where they could focus on their own hauora while feeling welcomed, supported, and celebrated.
A huge congratulations to Amelia Shirley, Ellouise McMillan and Eleanor Middendorf, the lucky winners of our Mana Wāhine feedback survey! Thank you to everyone who took the time to share their thoughts and experiences with us. Amelia, Ellouise and Eleanor will be contacted soon about their prizes, and we appreciate all the valuable feedback that's helping us continue to strengthen and grow Mana Wāhine.
Ngā mihi nui to our volunteers, providers, kaimahi, and everyone who contributed their time, knowledge, and aroha to make this kaupapa such a success. The smiles, laughter, and positive feedback throughout the day are a testament to the ongoing impact of Mana Wāhine in our community.
