Last month members of the Hurunui Health Services Development Group went on a road trip to kōrero (speak) with the community about plans to set up a consumer and health provider hauora (health and wellbeing) advisory group.

The Hurunui community are invited to find out about plans for both a local community group and local health and wellbeing provider group to guide development of the region’s health care services at a series of drop-in sessions.

Cantabrians are being asked to complete a survey to share their thoughts on what they and their whānau need for their health and hauora / wellbeing.

Kai, kōrero and companionship is proving a winning combination for kaumātua (elders) through the Kahukura Kaumātua Programme, which is helping to bring a community together to connect and talk about hauora (health and wellbeing).

The St John Youth and Canterbury Clinical Network (CCN) partnership is nearing its first anniversary and the relationship has proved so successful it is now being formalised. The pilot project which has been running through 2020 has been endorsed for St John Youth to offer a permanent voice across CCN’s groups.

Youth in Mid Canterbury can now receive sexual health care from a new Youth Sexual Health Clinic.

Early intervention and collaborative approaches such as those being put in place by Mana Ake – Stronger for Tomorrow have been shown to result in a range of wellbeing benefits for children and their whānau, according to findings from a report released today.

The CCN Work Programme for 2020-21/22 has been endorsed by the Alliance Leadership Team and is now available on the CCN website.
