🌙✨ SAFE SLEEP DAY – WHAKATĀNE ✨🌙
Nau mai, haere mai whānau 💛
Join us as we come together to learn, connect, and kōrero about safe sleep practices for our pēpi and the importance of reducing SUDI in our community. Bay of Plenty continues to experience high rates of SUDI, and through education, support, and shared knowledge, we can help keep our babies safe.
This is more than just an education day — it’s a whānau event filled with connection, learning, kai, and community. We’ll have a range of interactive workshops and activities focused on supporting the wellbeing of the whole whānau, including:
🎥 Kiriata- soft launch of a short film that features a toikupu written by Rangipare Belshaw-Ngaropo exploring the significance of Wahakura and Harakeke.
🌕 Maramataka & understanding moon cycles by Te Rina Ransfield
🥣 Nutritional postpartum kai & nourishing the body after birth by Julia Kihi-Coates
🧠 Looking after your hinengaro and mental wellbeing
👶 Safe sleep education and practical tools for pēpi safety
There’ll also be FREE kai, prizes, activities, and opportunities to connect with local services and other whānau.
Together, we can awhi our whānau with knowledge, support safer sleep practices, and help protect our pēpi.
