Kia ora
the idea for a blog came about when I found out that the Auckland Te Whiuwhiu o te Hau Maori Counselling Programme was closing down in Dec 2008. The purpose behind setting up this blog was to provide a forum for alumni (graduates) of the Te Whiuwhiu o te Hau programmes both in the Waikato and Auckland region to keep connected with their friends and colleagues. I have been privvy to hear many success stories and ideas created for a bi-cultural or kaupapa Maori based counselling services. There are many experiences and strategies that may be useful for others - research, bi-cultural management, traditional counselling models, strategies for writing skills to name a few. This site may be a useful forum for indigenous counsellors and social workers - you are welcome to join in and share your stories.
Myself and Kimi welcome your stories to this site. Naumai Haere mai. Welcome.

I graduated with the diploma in TWWOTH at the Te Kuiti Campus (2005 - 2007) & reluctantly moved to Australia mid way through B.A.S.S.
I believe in the program & just wanted to say that despite the move, TWWOTH has made me a strong & grounded person, regardless of where I live.
I will be home to complete my tohu (if the program is still running).
