Te Arani Daniels

Sisters, cultural leaders, and highly respected mental health nurses, Te Arani and Caroline guide Tū Kaha ki te Ao, a whānau-based kaupapa grounded in whanaungatanga, whenua, and wairua.  Their suicide prevention wānanga in the Pipiwai Valley weave te ao Māori and indigenous practice, from preparing hīnaki to kōrero on whakapapa protection, removing barriers to participation (including on-site childcare) and building skills, goals, and resilience across whānau and hapū.
