Mihi from Dux

Tēnā koutou te whānau o Pirirākau. Ngā mihi nui ki

ngā whānau e mauiui ana i roto i o koutou kainga i

roto i te hohipera hoki. Kia piki te ora ki a koutou.

Welcome to our first newsletter for 2020. It has been

quite a busy start to the new year with recruitment of

new staff, holiday programmes, Te Ihu Waka

programmes and a lot of mahi going on in the

community with our whanau.

Staffing

Since the start of the new year we have recruited 4

new staff members to our team. They are Wilma

Akuhata and Joanne Deane who will be working in the

Home Care Support space as Coordinators, Theresa

Wynyard in the Community Nursing role, and Joanne

Kahotea our new Whanau Ora Kaimahi. I am sure they

will enjoy their time with Piriakau Hauora.

Clinic

Since we opened our clinic on 6th January things have

been going quite well. Our whanau appear to be quite

well at the moment. Dr Robbie Nicholas was kind

enough to offer support for our clinic to cover the

doctor hours that we have lost with Dr Bruce leaving.

Dr Nicholas helped out during the month of February

and was a great help to us. We are hoping that on his

return from Rarotonga he will be able to help out

when needed. Meanwhile Dr Christie is holding the

fort while we try to recruit another doctor. This is

proving to be quite difficult as there is a shortage of

doctors nationwide and we are one of many practices

looking for doctors.

There is a lot of publicity about the Coronavirus

otherwise known as Covid-19. To date there have

been no confirmed cases in New Zealand. If you have

travelled from/through Mainland China you will be

expected to self-isolate for 14 days. If you have any

concerns please ring the clinic and talk to one of our

nurses.

Congratulations

To Te Kapahaka o Ngati Ranginui on their success at the Ka-

hungunu Regionals and being placed first.

Nga mihi nui ki te kapa me nga kaitautoko. We are all so

proud of you all!!

Services

If you need support of any kind please do not hesitate to

contact our Whanau Ora team—Michelle Horne and Joanne

Kahotea. They are here to help you. IF they are not able to

provide the service that you require they will be able to

refer you to the appropriate person to help you.

As well as all the service that we offer at the Hauora on

Lochhead Road—don’t forget that we also have services at

Te Oturu on Paparoa Road.

The Mirimiri Service is available 5 days per week and the

Pulsed Electromagnetic Therapy Bed is also available for use.

Please ring Te Oturu to get more details and book in for an

appointment.

Community Nurse

Our new Community Nurse has hit the road running and has

been out and about in the community working with our

whanau between here and Katikati. Theresa comes with

years of experience working in the communities in

Northland and is dedicated and committed to working with

our people. So expect a call or a visit, if you are due or

overdue with checks or just haven’t been seen for awhile.

Homecare Support Service

This service provides personal cares and home management

for our whanau 65+ years in their homes on the completion

of an assessment by Support Net. Our books are currently

closed while we train new staff but we are looking to

re-open our books for referrals in the next 2 weeks.

So if you think that this is a service that you or a member of

your whanau may need. Please phone the team and find

out more about.

Well whanau kua mutu taku korero ki a koutou mo tenei wa.

We look forward to a great 2020.

SunSmart

1st march – 31st march

We all need to be smart whenever we’re outside, especially during daylight saving months (when UV levels are most likely to be 3 or higher). Sunburn is painful and damag-es skin. It also increases our risk of developing skin cancer. So, before you head out to

enjoy your day, take a little time to be SunSmart

Kia Ora and welcome to CAMHS CORNER 2020

Our topic in this months newsletter is information about ANGER:

When is it a Problem?

In small doses, anger is appropriate, normal, and healthy

emotion. Everyone experiences anger. It helps us stand

up for ourselves when we’ve been wronged, and protect

our own needs. However, in many circumstances, anger

can have unwanted consequences.

Anger is a problem when it negatively affects others. Anger drives people to act in a way that’s

unpleasant or harmful to those around them. This can result in straining or losing important

relationships when anger is out of control

Anger is a problem when it hinders performance at work and at school. Anger can lead to breakdowns

in communication, making it difficult to work with others. Additionally being pre occupied with

anger harms ones ability to concentrate on work or school tasks

Anger is a problem when it affects negatively on health and well-being. Anger affects both the physical

and emotional health. Anger contributes to anxiety, depression, drug and alcohol use.

If anger is affecting you and you need support please contact our CAMHS Service at Pirirakau

Hauora on :

Manawa Ora -

Whānau Ora Navigator

Phase one: Assessments

We are still assessing some whanau with the DHB Healthy homes assessment. These assessments are more so for our tamariki aged 0 -5 living in conditions that affect their health so much it leads to hospitalisation or frequent visits to the GP. It is essential that you make yourself available for these assessments as funding for home improvements is an entitlement and our kaimahi from Sustainability Options source this funding to be given back to your whare.

Phase two: Repairs

The Manawa Ora kaupapa has started its first 10 home repairs. Our whanau have had their electrics/electricity looked at and repaired by Smartsparx, cladding repaired by DJ Contracting and roofing repairs will commence in March by Adco roofers. The response by whanau has been positive and uplifting on behalf of these whanau and Pirirakau Hauora we would like to thank these kaimahi for their caring non-judgmental manner and efficiency working with our whanau in among their whare and community. Nga mihi nui ki a koutou.

We have also started to collect housing resources such as iron for roofing and heating systems for our kaupapa.

I would like to also reassure whanau that all who are on this kaupapa and have been assessed will be receiving repairs. Kaua e maharahara e te whanau. Due to the interest of this kaupapa, it is more manageable to create and work alongside 10 whare/whanau at a time.

Workshops:

Keep an eye out on our Manawa Ora Facebook page and Pirirakau Hauora Facebook page whanau. We will be holding some more curtain making workshops very soon.

Kia ora e te whānau ō Pirirākau

Whānau Ora is a kaupapa Māori approach that supports whānau to achieve their dreams and aspirations in

life.

Whanau Ora kaiarahi/navigator is to listen to what matters to you and your whanau. Through conversation

together we can start to develop a plan, setting goals with realistic and achievable “outcomes”.

Yes we walk or mahi beside the whānau that can look a little like a Social Worker, but when you are in this

space beside us we can and do play a key role in supporting whānau who can be experiencing challenging

times. Kaiārahi can help in connecting you to referrals or services that you want or need.

With the support of a Kaiārahi, whānau who are facing communication

barriers with a government service we can be there to tautoko you to

achieve successful outcomes.

Together we can set plans to flexible and realistic time frames. Whanau ora

navigation will support you on your journey to ASPIRE….

Mirimiri

Mirimiri is traditional Maori Healing. In Maori Philosophy, MiriMiri is a vibrational exchange (Reo) be-

tween our Earth Mother (Papatuanuku) and the Goddess of the Sea (Hine Moana). "Mi" is a spacial vi-

bration (nga reo e pa ana ki te rangi) between Sky Father (Ranginui) and Earth Mother (Papatuanuku).

Mirimiri is steeped in Maori custom and culture. There are tribal differences with Mirimiri practice

throughout Aotearoa. Mirimiri is a holistic form of massage or bodywork.

Mirimiri is used for healing multiple realms of a person’s life. This is in contrast to Western massage

techniques which are primarily focused on the physical. Tension, stress and trauma accumulate in the body throughout our lives. This can manifest as pain, ill-

ness or dysfunction on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. Mirimiri helps with the effects

this has on our wellbeing by bringing balance and harmony to the body.

Mirimiri is also a general term for pressing, rubbing and manipulating your skin, muscles, tendons and

ligaments. Practitioners typically use their hands and fingers for mirimiri, but may also use their fore-

arms, elbows and even feet. Mirimiri may range from light stroking to deep pressure. There are many

different forms of mirimiri.

However, our Mirimiri Practitioners will cater to what is best for you on the day.

In the onset of autumn and winter, we also offer Hot Stone Mirimiri to soothe away aches and pains . A

beautiful experience to re-connect with yourself.

Pricing is as follows:

All clients registered with GP Services $30

Pirirakau descent (not registered with GP) $40

Casual (not Pirirakau descent or registered with GP) $60

Mirimiri appointments are for 1 hour duration.

To make an appointment, please phone Te Oturu Oranga: 07 552 6238

Gift Vouchers are also available to purchase.

treatment, which promotes accelerated healing for ailments and injuries via “stimulating cell regeneration”.

Human cells each have a specific vibration/frequency.

The QRS (PEMF Mat) produces an electromagnetic field, which imitates and creates the same vibration as healthy

human cells.

Everything that exists has a vibration, including every atom, molecule and thus the human cell. The QRS uses the frequencies of the body itself, which are generated by movement. The concept on which the QRS is based was that humans carry a symphony of frequencies in the body. By treating

the person through electromagnetic fields, it is necessary to offer the full package of personal frequencies that

support the body to perform its own functions.

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy assists by improving circulation, reducing muscle tension, improving sleep,

reducing inflammation, improving tissue healing, reducing anxiety and stress - mental focus, and the body’s

overall performance by helping the energy output and regeneration of the body’s cells.

This new service is available at Te Oturu on a Wednesday from 9am.
