Whānau Ora on the road

By / 10 May 2010

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.

About us

This site is run by the Social Justice Commission of the Anglican Church.

We seek to nurture justice spirituality and imagination, and engage in advocacy in all areas of life, overcoming poverty and transforming violence.

We encourage people to think and live “justly”, and emphasise debate and action on local, national and global issues.

Although we are Anglican, our vision isn’t so much about being Anglican. It’s about living justly. Justice is about how you live your life, and being just where we are. Working together, we can all flourish.

Just Booklets Mailing List

Just Booklets produced by the Justice Commission appear as booklets  and study guides around a variety of important and engaging topics – food, gardening, peace, lignite, with many more to come. From now on, they will be coming directly to you.

Just Living Booklets are subscription-only publications, so if you or your church want copies, sign up! There is no charge. Simple as that.

You might like to consider becoming a contact person/distributor to help raise awareness of Just Booklets  in your church or organisation.If you have an idea for a booklet, or even the desire to write. We seek to draw upon the expertise of the whole church. If you’d like to share your story about some aspect of justice or injustice, or some story about your passions and/or your life, email or call Anthony.
