Mana Ake is a preventative/early intervention wellness initiative for Tamariki year 0-8 in Primary and Intermediate schools. Our Kaimahi work in specific schools at grassroots level to promote and enhance wellbeing areas that the school have identified. Some of which could be to support our Tamariki to grow resilience, have healthy friendships and manage big emotions while preserving wairua, and mana. Everything we do is with fun in mind that the Tamariki can engage and build on their tools to handle situations as they grow.
