Enhancing end of life care for whānau Māori
Pō Pīata is a Māori-led kaupapa that helps equip whānau with the knowledge, tools and confidence to navigate death, dying and grief in ways that honour our tikanga and mātauranga.
WHANAUNGATANGA
Growing good relationships
We are well connected throughout hauora, rongoā Māori, palliative care, primary care, hospice wānanga and academia. We can be informed, and responsive with Governance, Project and Advisory work for whānau, hapū, iwi, hauora and wellbeing organisations.
Kotahitanga
Unifying for mana motuhake
Working collectively because we know we are stronger together. We make space and take space for whānau voice and Māori ways of doing things, creating choices and tools that reflect who we are, how we live, and how we prefer to transition.
Pukengatanga
Informing system change
Contributing to and growing Māori and indigenous knowledge bases around end of life care and bereavement. We have supported rangahau, research, evaluation as well as conference presentations in Aotearoa and abroad.
