MAKE TIME TO CHECK | Breast Cancer Awareness Month

We make time for everyone else. This October, make time for yourself too.

Checking your breasts regularly and knowing what is normal for you can help you notice changes early.

A few minutes to check could be one of the most important things you do for your health.

Whakarongo ki tō tinana. Know your normal. If something has changed, get it checked.

❓Q: What can we all do to help prevent family violence?

A: Prevention starts with each of us.

We can model respectful relationships, teach tamariki about kindness and consent, challenge harmful attitudes, support people who reach out for help, and speak up when something doesn't seem right.

Creating violence-free communities isn't the responsibility of one person or one organisation—it's something we build together.

Every respectful conversation and every act of support contributes to safer whānau and stronger communities.

Te Wiki o te Reo Māori | Māori Language Week

Te reo Māori is more than a language. It carries our stories, our whakapapa, our identity and our connection to one another.

This Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, let’s celebrate the reo, encourage one another to use it and create space for it in our everyday lives.

Whether it’s a simple “kia ora”, learning a new kupu, sharing a waiata or having a kōrero with whānau - every word matters.

Kia kaha te reo Māori.

💜 Economic abuse is family violence.

Please sign, share, and help spread the word. Together, we can make this often-hidden form of family violence more visible.
