Working together to whakamana (empower)
rangatahi/taiohi (Youth) on the Coast

03/11/2025

We all do it - fill in the blanks when we don’t have the full story.
But most of the time, that story isn’t truth - it’s stink thinking. 💭

This week on the Radio, we’re talking about how to interrupt it:
🗣️ Ask the brave questions
🔄 Circle back for clarity
💖 Remember your truth
👯 Surround yourself with truth-tellers

Parents & caregivers - be the truth finders for your rangatahi.
Together, we can break the spiral and find the real story. 🌊

There’s nothing better than those Coast moments where you just bump into awesome humans doing incredible mahi 💛

Yesterday at Drifter Coffee Liv bumped into Maddi from , Steph from Coast Action Collective, Charlie from , and Gen from too!

It’s such a reminder of the beautiful power of community - people doing good things, connecting over coffee, and working together to make our Coast a better, more supportive place for everyone. 🌊✨

Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. 🌺
When we share ideas, learn from each other, and lift up local voices - our whole community benefits.
The Youth Hauora Network is all about creating those connections that make the Coast stronger, together. 💙
Can't wait to see you at the next hui.

We are looking forward to seeing our friends and whanau and the last YHN hui of the year! It's our Christmas celebration + a time to pause and acknowledge all the collective mahi we have done in our community!
RSVP to our November hui via the Facebook event or email Liv at hello@youthhauoranetwork.org.nz - See ya there!

Could you share your kaupapa in 30 seconds? 👀
That’s what we practised at our Late Night Hui last month - giving everyone a chance to share their story, their “why”, and the impact they’re making in our community.
It’s not easy, but wow - our network showed up and nailed it! 💪

Nothing beats seeing Coasties come together, connect, and collaborate 💫
Our “Late Night” Hui was full of energy, laughter, and courageous kōrero - from sharing ideas to forming new partnerships.
When we come together, magic happens. 💙

Today across Aotearoa, thousands of teachers, nurses, and public sector kaimahi took to the streets - standing up for fair pay, safe workloads, and the wellbeing of the people they serve 💪🏽

At the Youth Hauora Network, we see you, we back you, and we’re with you.
These are the people who hold up our communities - who care for our rangatahi, our whānau, and our hauora every single day.

Your mahi matters. Your voice matters. You deserve to be valued and supported just like the aroha you give out.

Ngā mihi for standing strong ✊🏽

Massive thanks to Maddi from Voices of Hope and W***y from Amokura Coaching for sharing your why and the heart behind your mahi at our Late Night Hui! 💥

You reminded us that storytelling is powerful - and that how we share our kaupapa can open doors, build trust, and create change.
Thank you both for keeping it real and inspiring us all to share our stories with purpose. 🙌
