To achieve our goals in our COVID-19 work, Te Hiringa Hauora is taking several approaches. We are:
- working with our partners to deliver wellbeing messages for Māori. These partners include Hine Moeke-Murray of Te Kupenga Net Trust, Kaye-Maree Dunn for Te Kahu o Taonui, Kerri Butler & Maria Baker of Te Rau Ora, Natasha Kemp of Manurewa Marae and Skye Kimura for Mental Health Foundation
- working with relevant national organisations to promote wellbeing messages and resources
- delivering COVID-19-related messages through web, social media, newspaper and radio channels
- partnering with regional and community groups and organisations to develop resources, and tools to support their campaigns and initiatives.
Partnering with regional and community groups
Our community partners (and a brief description of their projects) are detailed below.
- Making Everything Achievable - Te Kahu o Taonui. Te Hononga

- Rauawaawa Kaumātua Charitable Trust. Ngā Matauranga Taonga
- This project focuses on producing six short videos capturing Kaumātua of different living situations sharing their experiences of COVID-19 lockdown. The videos are a Kaumātua-led communication/messaging tool on what supports, activities and people were helpful in keeping them well and safe during lockdown.

- Te Awakairangi Health Network. Reconnecting People and Whānau to Primary Care
- There is a concern that people are not seeking health care in a timely way. In fact, they are avoiding or delaying seeking care.
- The project addresses this concern by developing a mixed media campaign with a series of short videos showing common situations for whānau having difficulties accessing care, and showing how they can get the healthcare they need.
- Note, this project is relevant to all the audiences Te Hiringa Hauora is focusing on.
