Tēnā koutou katoa! The #LifeKeepers team are gearing up to head to te Upoko o te Ika a Māui, with workshops scheduled for Masterton and Wellington this April.
If you’re based in Wellington, Porirua, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, Wainuiomata or the Wairarapa and are keen to develop the skills, knowledge, and confidence you need to prevent suicide in your community, then head to lifekeepers.nz/account/sign-up to create an account and enrol in a workshop today!
We also have workshops scheduled at a range of other locations throughout Aotearoa, so if you’re outside of the Lower North Island and keen to attend one of our workshops, head over to www.lifekeepers.nz/workshops to see if we’re coming to a town near you!
Talofa! I was wondering if there will be a Flo Talanoa session in Hamilton or Waikato region this year!
In our Journey to the Pacific module at www.atumai.nz you'll go on a journey of Pasifika history and culture. Along the way you will learn of the strength of our ancestors. 👏🏾

Tufuga Ta Tatau Workshop 2019
This video is a result of an inaugural Ta Tatau Health and Safety Workshop attended by Tufuga ta tatau from both Samoa and New Zealand, held in Auckland on 25th of June 2019. This video should be watched in conjunction with Le Va’s tatau factsheet. Whilst this factsheet focusses more on health and safety practice, cultural and spiritual processes associated with customary tattooing are captured in the video.
