He Waka Eke Noa!

The training provided valuable insights into different types of cancer and how whānau and environmental factors can impact health outcomes. Discussions covered key topics such as the importance of HPV vaccinations, access to counselling, and the benefits of early screening.

For our kaimahi, this session was a powerful reminder of the challenges many whānau face in prioritising healthcare while dealing with everyday struggles. The knowledge shared will help us better support whānau in accessing vital health services and overcoming barriers to care.

A big thank you to Lisia Ratima-Livesly and her team for their dedication and for sharing their expertise with us. Their mahi is making a real difference in raising awareness and improving cancer care in our communities.

At He Waka Tapu, we are committed to ensuring our kaimahi have the tools and knowledge to walk alongside whānau on their health journey, so no one has to face it alone.
