Ngā Pou o Te Whare o Waipareira is the group that represents all the providers based at Whānau Centre to ensure an effective Collective Impact approach for achieving the best outcomes for whānau.
#Tātou is a unique programme in place to support whanau to improve their health, wellbeing and health literacy. As a place based Collective Impact initiative #Tātou works collaboratively with partners combining the services and skills offered throughout Whānau Centre to achieve outcomes for whānau on two broad objectives, to support whānau improve their health and wellbeing (with a focus on obesity) and, to improve collaboration and health literacy in the Whānau Centre.
Two years into this journey has seen a number of key learnings and reflections documented. These publications articulate partner and whānau progress looking at the broad objectives around health and wellbeing as well as more defined indicators.
Stay tuned as we continue to update progress along the way.

One of the biggest challenges of a Collective Impact (CI) initiative is to bring together its strengths to translate its shared vision to action. As a workforce we constantly need to think about our work as part of a larger context and consider how our contribution fits into the larger puzzle of activities.
A key strength of our Whānau Centre CI initiative, #tātou, is its workforce and the talent and expertise they bring. This is the third installment of our #tātou series where we hope groups can learn and leverage off our experience, and in particular our Whānau Centre Navigators.
