Today for Wananga we had to re-read this fact sheet out loud and then again. From there you need to make a blog post that answers these three questions:
1) What does Mason Durie define Taha Hinengaro as? He describes Taha Hinengaro as an expression of thoughts and feelings of our mind, heart, and conscience. These expressions can be communicated through gestures, eye movements, facial
expressions, and verbally.
2) What helps us have the resilience to bounce back? Developing individual skills.
• Building supportive environments.
• Activities and actions that help people and communities to feel good, function well and have
strong social relationships.
3)What three things work to support healthy mental well-being?
Feeling good (Oranga ) – Increasing positive feelings & ways to manage negative experiences.
Functioning well (Mātauranga) – Increasing our ability to do the things that give us meaning and purpose. Supportive relationships (Whanaungatanga) – Increasing opportunities to connect so we feel valued and have a sense of belonging.
