Do you talk about your feelings with your mates?
“Yeah. Maybe not as much as I should… but I still talk.”

Even just talking a little can help. You get to share thoughts, feel support, and remember - you’re not alone.

🌺 PUĀWAI SUMMIT KEYNOTE ANNOUNCEMENT 🌺

We are deeply honoured to welcome Tai Turia as one of our keynote speakers at this year’s Puāwai Summit.

Tai will bravely share her powerful story of whakamōmori, walking through the deep mamae of loss after losing her brother, Pākaitore, the moko of Dame Tariana Turia, to su***de. Her kōrero reminds us of the profound impact that loss has on our whānau, and the strength it takes to turn pain into purpose.

Through her courage, Tai is helping to bring awareness to the realities of su***de and is raising vital funds for Youthline, so that more of our rangatahi have someone to reach out to when times are tough.

We’re proud to stand alongside Tai in this kaupapa — with half of all Puāwai Summit proceeds going directly to support her Youthline cause.

He wahine toa, he manawa aroha. 💛
