🌿 Te Wiki o te Reo Māori | 14–20 Mahuru 2025

Te reo Māori is more than a language — it’s the heartbeat of Aotearoa. 💓
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Te Wiki o te Reo Māori — a momentous celebration for Aotearoa’s language movement.

This week, let’s embrace and nurture it together. Here are some simple ways you can take part:
✔️ Greet your whānau, friends or workmates with a kupu Māori
✔️ Learn your pepeha and share it with others
✔️ Use resources like Reo Māori website or Te Aka Māori Dictionary

You can also join in online on reomaori.co.nz
✨ Take on the 50 Wero Reo Māori challenges to grow your reo skills
✨ Record a message to the future via Pūtahi Mahara (Time Capsule) — to be opened again in 2075

Mā te ao Māori, he reo ake ake.”
Let’s keep te reo alive — today, tomorrow, forever.

🌏 World Su***de Prevention Day | 10th September 🌏

In Aotearoa, too many of our whānau and communities carry the silent weight of suicidal thoughts. This year’s theme, “Changing the Narrative on Su***de”, reminds us that talking about su***de does not increase risk — it creates space for aroha, compassion, and hope. 💛

👉 When to step in:
When something has happened
When something has changed
When something doesn’t feel quite right

👉 How to step in – ABC:
Ask and listen without judgement
Build a plan together
Connect them with tautoko

By showing manaakitanga, listening with care, and reaching out, we can help lift the whakamā (stigma) and remind people they are never alone. 💬

📞 If you or someone you love is struggling, please reach out:
Free call/text 1737 for counselling & support
Su***de Crisis Helpline: 0508 828 865
Vaka Tautua (Pacific helpline): 0800 652 535

Together, we can change the narrative and build a kinder, safer Aotearoa. 🌿💛

🌼 Daffodil Day Aotearoa (29th August)

💛 Daffodil Day is more than a fundraiser — it’s a symbol of hope, strength, and community for those impacted by cancer across Aotearoa.

Every whānau knows the heartbreak of cancer — but also the resilience, the aroha, and the fight. This Daffodil Day, we stand with those affected and support the Cancer Society’s mahi in providing care, information, and vital research.

Let’s come together to:
✔️ Uplift those facing cancer with aroha and solidarity
✔️ Support equitable access to treatment and care
✔️ Fund lifesaving research and compassionate services

Together, we can bring light into the darkest moments. Wear your daffodil proudly. 🌼

💜 Women’s Health Week NZ - Here-turi-kōkā 11th - 17th

🚺 Women’s health is more than just physical wellbeing — it’s about voice, choice, and equity across every stage of life.

Too often, wāhine are unheard, misdiagnosed, or left to carry their hauora journeys alone.

This Women’s Health Week, let’s kōrero openly and act boldly to improve access to care and information for every wāhine across Aotearoa.

✔️ Support health literacy and education
✔️ Break down stigma around wāhine-specific issues
✔️ Demand equitable care for all communities

Because when wāhine thrive, communities flourish. 💪🏽

🌍 International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples (9 Here-turi-kōkā)

🌱 Today we stand in solidarity with Indigenous communities across the globe — including tangata whenua here in Aotearoa.

Indigenous peoples carry centuries of mātauranga, resilience, and deep connection to land, language, and identity. Yet they continue to face structural injustice and marginalisation.

This International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, let’s commit to:
✔️ Honouring Indigenous knowledge and leadership
✔️ Upholding self-determination and sovereignty
✔️ Creating a world where Indigenous voices are heard, valued, and centred

He taonga te tangata whenua. Let’s celebrate and uplift all Indigenous peoples today — and every day. 🖤❤️💛

🌸 World Breastfeeding Week (1–7 Here-turi-kōkā)

🚼 Breastfeeding is more than a personal choice — it’s a public health issue.
It protects babies, supports maternal wellbeing, and strengthens whānau. But not every parent receives the support they need.

Too many face stigma, pressure, or barriers when trying to breastfeed — especially in public or in the workplace.

This World Breastfeeding Week, let’s push for:
✔️ Informed, judgement-free support for all parents
✔️ Safe, welcoming spaces to feed pēpi
✔️ Cultural, clinical, and emotional care that uplifts whānau

Breastfeeding takes a village — let’s be that village. 💛

🌱 Matariki: A Time to Reconnect with Our Roots 🌟

On 20 Pipiri (June), Matariki marks the Māori New Year, where we celebrate the harvest, our people, and our past, while looking ahead to the future with hope and collective strength. 🌾✨

It’s more than just the appearance of the stars—it’s about reconnecting with our whakapapa, our whenua, and our people. It’s a time for us to come together, reflect on what we’ve been through, and prepare for what lies ahead.

This Matariki, let’s gather as a community, honour our ancestors, and set our intentions for a brighter future. 💫

June 16th-22th - World Continence Week

🚨 It’s time to normalise the kōrero around continence health!

Did you know? Over a million New Zealanders experience bladder or bowel control issues, yet many suffer in silence because of stigma and whakamā (shame).

We don’t need to accept this as "just part of life." There are:
✅ Pelvic health specialists
✅ Exercises to strengthen the body
✅ Treatment options that work

This World Continence Week (16-22 Pipiri), let’s push for awareness, support, and action so no one feels alone in their journey. Hauora tinana, hauora wairua – a healthy body and mind go hand in hand. 💙

June 15th-21st - National Volunteer Week

💙 Aotearoa runs on volunteers—could that be you?

Imagine our communities without the people who give their time for free—helping in hospitals, coaching kids’ sports, protecting our whenua, and supporting mental health services. Pretty tough, right?

This National Volunteer Week (15-21 Pipiri), let’s celebrate the legends who give their time and energy to uplift others. 🙌

Want to give back but don’t know where to start? Even the smallest act of service makes a huge impact. Find a cause that speaks to you and jump in!

💉 Ever thought about donating blood? Here’s why you should! 🩸

Right now in Aotearoa, someone needs blood every 18 minutes. It could be a parent, a child, a cancer patient, or someone in an emergency.

But less than 4% of Kiwis donate. That means we need more heroes—**yes, YOU—**to step up and help save lives.

💡 It’s quick, safe, and can literally be the difference between life and death.

So, are you keen to be a lifesaver? This World Blood Donor Day (14 Pipiri), take the challenge and donate! ❤️

🥐🍞 Can’t live without bread? What if your body couldn’t handle it?

For 1 in 70 Kiwis, eating gluten = serious health issues. But here’s the thing—most don’t even know they have coeliac disease!

💡 If you’ve got ongoing gut problems, constant tiredness, or weird nutrient deficiencies, it’s worth getting tested. Coeliac disease isn’t just an upset puku—it’s a lifelong condition that needs proper management.

This Coeliac Awareness Week (9-15 Pipiri), let’s spread the word and support our gluten-free whānau. Gluten-free isn’t a trend—it’s a necessity! 💙

💙 Tāne mā, how’s your hauora? 🧠

We talk about lifting weights, fixing cars, smashing goals… but when was the last time you checked in on your mental health?

💡 FACT: More men in Aotearoa die by su***de than in car crashes. We need to start talking, checking in, and looking after each other.

This Men’s Mental Health Week (9-15 Pipiri), challenge yourself to:
✅ Call a mate just to say hey
✅ Have a real kōrero about how you’re feeling
✅ Reach out if you’re struggling

Your mental health matters, bro. It’s not weak to speak. 💙
