Whānau Ora on the road
Community groups working with families will have a chance to ask questions about the planning underway for Whānau Ora at a series of hui being held around the country between 10- 31 May 2010.
Whānau Ora takes a whole-of- family approach that aims to reconnect and strengthen people and their whanau so they, themselves, can find real life solutions to improving their health and well-being.
The Honourable Tariana Turia, Minister responsible for Whanau Ora, will be presenting an update at 12 regional hui around New Zealand as per the schedule below. Her presentation will be followed by a joint one from the three Government agencies involved in the first stage of its implementation: Te Puni Kokiri, Ministry of Social Development and the Ministry of Health.
Each information hui will last for two hours with presentations followed by an open discussion. Community groups and people interested in finding out more about Whānau Ora are invited to attend. Full details of dates, times and venues are listed below.
