- Education and Awareness in relation to the impact of mahi tukino on the individual and whānau and ways of restoring and building Mana Wahine, Tu Wahine, Tutangata, which has been diminshed due to mahi tukino.
- Advocate on behalf of individuals and whānau to ensure opportunities for tamariki, wahine and whānau affected by mahi tukino are accessible.
- Primary prevention for Māori through Māori media - Radio Waatea's weekly programme encourages individuals and whānau to start conversations about mahi tukino. Development and dissemination of resources such as whakatauki, purakau and waiata with messages of well-being that lead to the elimination of mahi tukino and acts as signposts to what and how this is achieved.
