Kōrero o te wā POUKURA

It’s that time of the year again when workplaces around the country close their doors for the Christmas break.

After the pre-Christmas craziness, Christmas Day is always a breath of fresh air - the shops are closed and the streets are quiet as people everywhere gather with whānau to share some special time.

For many, it’s the only time of the year that families can come together, so it is a time to be savoured. Make the most of these special moments with your whānau.

It’s always a joy watching our tamariki at Christmas - oh to have back the innocence of those days when Christmas was just so exciting - all the anticipation of waiting for Santa to turn up on his sleigh delivering gifts and goodwill to all and all the fun putting up the

Christmas tree, hanging lights and then watching as they are turned on. I have a great memories of my boys when they were little just staring delightedly at the Christmas tree with all its lights.

Christmas can also be a lonely time for many of our people who may not have family nearby, so keep an eye on your neighbours if you know they will be alone.

I hope you enjoy the Kirihimete issue of Kōrero o te wā. It’s a bit of a photographic tribute celebrating the many milestones from not only our clients, but also our kaimahi. And then, of course, there’s all the fun to be had along the way.

Have a safe and peaceful Kirihimete everyone.

The past year has seen many highs and some lows and throughout the everchanging landscape of health we have

remained steadfast to our goals and aspirations of Hauraki a healthy nation.

It is this lofty goal that provokes us and moves us to do better, to reach further and to expect more from our

services than ever before.

We have also seen a change in government and for the not-for-profit sector this can mean many things but we remain hopeful that this government will continue to see a

place for the smaller provider who dares to be different.

So, to highlight a few of the achievements at the end of each year is difficult as we have the luxury to look

back on a year and see many.

Perhaps if we start from our babies and move our way up. We continue to see the delivery of Tamariki Ora services

to our whānau. We also have a number of services being delivered via our kura to assist in the health and wellbeing of

our tamariki. Our school-based clinic and combined model of care project was completed

in collaboration with Te Wharekura o Manaia and as a result will now see the same model rolled out into other wharekura and kurakaupapa througout Hauraki/

Waikato.

Our Rangatahi Youth Summit was another highlight and was so well attended this year. A huge highlight of this kaupapa

was the attendance of our kaumātua and the interaction during the “have a cuppa” workshop was simply brilliant.

Our clinical services reviewed their model of care and as a result implemented the walk-in clinics at three of our four locations. These have seen many benefits for

our whānau, but most of all has seen an increase in the enrolled numbers, appointments for all as needed and a

decrease in the fee for service which we must pay when our whānau have to attend A&E and/or

other practices. The clinics continue to be a major issue for our organisation and

we are working on a number of ideas to help improve their bottom line.

Our home-based services have seen another year of growth and

this in spite of the changing environment and challenging funding parameters. Our team have continued to work fluidly

through these changes resulting in stable services and, most

importantly, a level playing field for our staff with the introduction

of pay parity. We have also continued to increase the training

opportunities, and so improving the overall service delivery.

We have also introduced our first year of reo classes that we have run in-house and

these have really improved the ability of our staff to not only interact in our national language but

has also sent a clear message to our whānau that we are interested and engaged in te ao Māori.

Moving forward we expect to see a lot of movement in the mental health services as we all try and create a better

space for our whānau.

Go Jodi!What does your role involve?

It’s a wonderful role!

I am privileged to work in the field of perinatal mental wellbeing with women who are hapū or have a baby or tamariki.

I am passionate about my work, because facilitating mummies to manage some of the challenges in their lives and providing support for them can hopefully help a teeny bit towards them making happier homes and more contented children.

How long have you been in this role?

I’ve been in the role for three fabulous years!

Previous positions/history with TK:

My most important role was obviously as a wife and mother.

In my “previous life” I’ve been a few things, including a school teacher and school principal in special needs education in South Africa, collectively for about 30 years, a freelance writer and part- time lecturer and counsellor.

Thereafter I was an educational psychologist in West Auckland for five to six years, prior to us relocating to Thames.

I joined TK in 2014, originally as a generic counsellor, before my role in MMH.

Where has it taken you?

My life has taken me on an amazing experiential journey, both in South Africa and in New Zealand. I’ve worked with profoundly disabled, extremely impoverished children. I have held the hand of people dying of Aids.

I’ve worked with a multicultural staff including Moslem and Hindu Indians, Zulu, Sotho and Xhosa Africans and Afrikaans and English-speaking people of mixed and European heritage, embracing the rainbow nation of South Africa.

In New Zealand I have worked with folk from over 10 different cultural backgrounds. Over and above Maori and Pākehā New Zealanders, I’ve worked with Dutch, Chilean, Chinese, German, Indian, Iraqi, Kenyan, Korean, Pasifika, Russian, Sri Lankan & South African clients.

“Every Seashell has a Story”

Film highlights accommodation discriminationThe Like Minds, Like Mine ‘Ngoi Poipoia Ki

Hauraki project facilitated by Te Korowai

Hauora o Hauraki launched their short film

“Every Seashell has a Story” on 7th December

2017 at the South Pacific Motel and Conference

Centre in Whangamatā.

The project aims to educate accommodation providers

from real estate agencies, landlords, motels,

hotels, backpackers and camping grounds

that mental health affects anyone of us.

Too often we see people with

mental illness being excluded from

accommodation, employment and

having their rights to belong and

be included in their communities

ignored. We see and hear the

stories day by day of the unfair

treatment people with experience

of mental illness often face.

“We want to create inclusive

communities where everyone matters and

where everyone has the same rights, is treated

fairly and has equal opportunities,” Project Coordinator

Aaron Woolley from Like Minds Like Mine Te Korowai

Hauora o Hauraki says.

“Ignoring, avoiding and excluding people is

discrimination and doesn’t reflect the kind of

communities we want to live in.”

This short film will raise awareness and help educate

people about mental illness. It illustrates many of the

barriers of stigma and discrimination that people with

experience of mental illness face every day in society.

Aaron says mental illness can affect anyone at any time.

“People with experience of mental illness and distress

are just like you and me; what you do has the ability to

positively or negatively affect someone’s recovery,” he

says.

“New Zealanders are proud to be seen to

have embraced difference in so many ways

and yet many people still experience

discrimination because of prejudice

and stereotypes about mental illness.

So, it’s up to all of us to make a

change for the better.”

He says people need to be fair, open,

kind and inclusive

“We want people to stand up and be

the voice in their communities, be the

champions and help spread this awesome

short film not only locally, regionally, nationally,

but globally, too!”

Kōrero o te wā WHARE AROHA

OPPORTUNITY SHOP

Last summer we enjoyed seeing so many new faces at Whare Aroha - people from other parts of Aotearoa, and from overseas who loved to chat and share their stories.

Many spoke of how impressed they were with Thames and the number of good Op Shops here.

It did though, become slightly tedious explaining many times a day where all the other Op Shops are located.

So we came up with the idea of putting together a flyer called Thames: Op Shop Capital of Aotearoa with a map and an advertisement for each shop.

This has been a great collaborative effort and all of the Thames Op shops will have the flyers available for travellers to take.

We recently came upon a list of 10

good reasons to go Op Shopping. This was inspirational.

It included: ethical and environmental benefits, money saving, providing alternatives to the mainstream and higher satisfaction at finding a bargain.

We hope that this is your experience. We find that our standards have become higher, largely due to the quality donations we continue to receive.

Thanks to all of you who have chosen to give your goods to us, and to our customers.

We wish you all a safe and happy summer, and we look forward to seeing you all again in the new year.

Serious implications if diabetes not managedOver 200,000 people in New Zealand have been diagnosed

with diabetes, a chronic and sometimes life-threatening

disease that affects three times as many Māori and Pacific

Islanders as it does other cultures.

Ministry of Health figures suggest there are another

100,000 New Zealanders who have not yet been diagnosed

with diabetes.

There are three types of diabetes – type 1, an

auto-immune condition where the body attacks

the cells that produce insulin, type 2, the most

common form of diabetes and which can be

managed by maintaining a healthy diet, weight

and lifestyle and gestational diabetes, which

affects some women during pregnancy.

Diabetes is characterised by how the body

produces and manages the hormone insulin.

Insulin is required by the body to balance our

blood sugars, which increase when we consume

carbohydrates and sugary foods.

Te Korowai Hauora o Hauraki Nurse Practitioner

Esme Maloney says if diabetes is not managed

properly, it can have serious complications

including blindness, amputation of limbs, kidney

disease and dialysis, heart disease, stroke,

periodontal disease and reduced life expectancy.

“These complications can be avoided if a person

maintains a healthy lifestyle and weight, exercises

regularly and eats well to manage their blood

sugars,” she says.

Some of the symptoms of diabetes are excessive thirst and

urination, fatigue and weakness, changes in vision, fruity

breath odour, increased hunger, and more frequent and

hard-to-heal infections.

Team ensures whānau well looked after

Debbie Petersen-Pilcher POUKURA ORANGA Manager Public and

Community Health Services

It’s been another busy year for the team.

A big thanks to the team for all their hard work this year, our whānau are better off having connected with one of our services.

Tamariki Ora

We have 603 tamariki registered with this service across the rohe. This year we said goodbye to one of our nurses - Kelly Cochran - and we now welcome Rachel Christini (working in Whitianga area) and Krista Harries (working in the Thames, Hauraki Plains, Paeroa and Waihī areas).

Whanau Ora

This team has grown this year with a new addition Khadine Topia and we now have a part-time social work attached to the team (Hone Hawkins).

We are currently working with just under 100 whānau across the Hauraki rohe. These whānau identify whānau goals and aspirations and the team work alongside the whānau to assist with navigating the changes.

Whānau Ora Employment and Education - we have again this year had good success with our driver licence programmes. We have also supported whānau into employment opportunities throughout the rohe.

Iwi Health Promotion

The team had a very successful Youth Summit this year - the theme being Past, Present and Future - Be the change. We had attendance from high schools from all round rohe, which then grew interest in schools starting Te Mata Rangatira programmes. We now have this programme in four high schools.

This year we ran a pre-high school programme at Kerepehi School which was very successful. Over the summer the team will have a trainee health promoter working alongside them to learn the role.

Kaumatua Programme

We have five Kaumatua rōpu around the rohe who meet fortnightly or monthly for social and educational activities.

Our Kaumātua travelled around NZ to participate in Olympic events in Kaitaia, Hamilton and Maniapoto. The rōpu have run some very successful events over the year - lots of fun and laughter had by all. Our Te Aroha rōpu (Green Tea Brigade) are hosting the 2018 Kaumātua Olympics in May.

Service Coordination

It’s been a busy year this year for our coordinator with lots of requests for support accessing housing for whānau and individuals who are homeless.

Our coordinator works alongside Work and Income, real estate companies and Housing NZ to support our whānau into emergency housing. We have also started to take part in the Waikato DHB initiative, Whare Ora - a housing

initiative working with whānau who live in damp houses that cause unwellness in our tamariki, two of our staff are now trained now to be housing assessors for this project.

Whare Aroha

Our Op Shop continues to support our whānau and local communities. Whare Aroha took on the ‘Say No to Plastic’ initiative and a group of women have been making material bags to be used in the shop and they have also been up-cycling and making bespoke bags for sale in the shop. This has been a great initiative and also goes towards keeping Aotearoa plastic-free.

Oranga Wairua

This service continues to operate offering support for individuals who have been diagnosed with a life limiting illness and their whānau.

Our social worker works alongside whānau during this journey, helping with advanced care planning. This service also has our Kaiwhakaora who offers traditional Māori healing for those on the programme. Thanks to Hauraki PHO who helps with funding of this service.

Like Minds Like Mine

This year we continued working on reducing stigma and discrimination in accommodation settings and ran stigma and discrimination workshops throughout the rohe. Our big project was working with Hauraki Plains College staff and students, South Pacific Motel in Whangamata, and the local community to produce a video - Every Seashell has a Story - which was launched on the 7th December 2017 in Whangamata. Great work Aaron. See story: P6

Project Energize

This is still going strong in schools in the rohe, with successful outcomes promoting healthy kai and physical activity. Our team have been involved in revamping the traditional sausage sizzle into a healthy choice, school, inter-school and whānau Tapuwae and Ki o rahi tournaments as well as supporting schools in role modelling class activity options. We welcomed Lyndsay McCowan and Ayden Aspeslet to the team this year.

DIAS

This service has continued to support our kaumātua with their disability needs. This year our focus was on hearing and we worked alongside Total Hearing Thames and supported our kaumātua to have their hearing tested. Some great outcomes.

Manager Home Assist

This year has been extraordinarily busy as we have worked through a period of unprecedented change within the home and community support service sector.

However, I am very pleased to report that the Home Assist rōpū has achieved exceptional results despite the extremely challenging environment in which we operate.

This result has only been made possible by the unwavering commitment from every one of my 155 staff (7 in-house kaimahi and 148 Support Workers) in our team and great support from our Finance and People and Performance rōpū.

We have seen the introduction of guaranteed hours, pay equity and a structured career pathway with meaningful NZQA training for our Support Workers. These changes are welcome improvements to their employment terms and conditions and we are very hopeful with these positive changes our kaimahi will see this mahi as a valuable and sustainable career option.

Over the past six weeks I have had the great pleasure of travelling around the rohe, accompanied by my amazing Service Coordinators and our Manukura Hauora Riana Manuel, attending our end of year Support Worker get togethers.

We have spent time in Coromandel, Whitianga, Tairua, Whangamata,

Exceptional results despite challengesHome Assist

Waihī, Paeroa, Te Aroha, Thames and Tokoroa.

As manager, this is a real highlight for me to catch up with our Support Workers, share stories and reflect on the year in a relaxed setting and over some really delicious kai.

It also provides an opportunity for me to say a huge thank you to all our Support Workers for the wonderful work they do every day for our whānau in our communities!

Always a lovely way to end the year!
