To achieve our goals in our COVID-19 work, Te Hiringa Hauora is taking several approaches. We are:
- working with our partners, the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand and All Right?, to deliver new Getting Through Together messages
- 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.

- 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.
