Community Voice

Strengthening Systems to Support Young Parents

Uplifting Community Voice in Policy and Practice

At E Tipu E Rea, our Ngā Manu Tuketuke service elevates the voices of mātua taiohi, hapū māmā and their whānau. Through wānanga (learning sessions), storytelling, submissions, and engagement with local and national leaders, we share the voices of whānau to gain support for change in health, education, housing, and social care systems. We gather whānau voices to reshape systems and policy and promote initiatives that will achieve wellbeing during the first 2,000 days of pēpi’s life.

Raising Community Voice

Elevates whānau voice into the public to drive meaningful change and raise awareness of issues.

System Change Advocacy

Engages with local and national health leaders to help remove systemic barriers for young parents and their whānau.

Challenging Discrimination

Shares lived experiences to reduce discrimination and stigma, and promote fair treatment across sectors, within media narrative and within our communities.

Growing Rangatira (Leaders)

Builds leadership, confidence and networks so whānau can thrive within their whānau, hapū, iwi and hapori (communities).

Our Support Process

At E Tipu E Rea, we initiate support with a straightforward three-step process:

Initial Contact

The journey begins when you fill out our form or contact us. This first step is crucial in opening the doors to assistance and understanding.

Triage & Assessment

Each enquiry is carefully triaged to understand the unique needs of the whānau. This ensures that the support provided is tailored and effective.

Personalised Planning

A dedicated Kaiāwhina is assigned to whānau, who will arrange a first visit for whanaungatanga.  Whanaungatanga is the cornerstone of our ongoing support and will help us plan for the support we give you.

Supporting Whānau with a focus on the crucial first 2,000 days of parenting.

We are dedicated to supporting young parents, their pēpi, hapū māmā, and the wider whānau to plan for their own growth and leadership development. Our tautoko includes, employment and housing, events, leadership wānanga and other opportunities,  counselling,  social support, hauora services for pēpi and parents (Immunisations and Well Child Tamariki Ora), midwifery, and connection to Mātauranga Māori; including mobile Māori play, rongoā and tūpuna parenting.
