With young people we understand hononga, identify and strengthen connections. Hononga Taiohi With young people we understand hononga, identify and strengthen connections. Hononga is about joining and connection.  Linked to whakapapa, it is about connection to people, land/whenua, resources, spirituality, the digital world and the environment. When we understand hononga we recognise all the connected relationships in a young person’s world (whānau, peers, school, the community), and the places and spaces that support these. Young people are supported to identify and strengthen these connections. Strengthening hononga also means recognising the connection between the wellbeing of young people and the wellbeing of their social and natural environment. Mana Taiohi with JJ and Arohanui Hononga: Identify and Strengthen Connections In this expert from Kaiparahuarahi (Vol.1, No.2), Fati Tagoai explores the concept of Hononga.

I currently lead the not-for-profit organisation's fee-for-service arm, overseeing the delivery of short-term, structured therapeutic interventions, including individual therapy, family therapy, and parenting support. My background spans clinical practice, supervision, and service leadership, with a strong focus on trauma-informed care, cultural responsiveness, and measurable client outcomes. I work at both the operational and strategic levels, supporting practitioners in delivering high-quality, evidence-based services while maintaining strong alignment with organisational values and best-practice standards. I am committed to developing reflective, competent practitioners and fostering safe, ethical, and effective practice environments. My Approach My supervision approach is grounded in reflective practice, clinical accountability, and professional growth. I take an integrative and collaborative stance, drawing on evidence-based frameworks and behavioural therapeutic interventions, while remaining responsive to the unique context of each practitioner and their work. I provide a structured yet supportive space where practitioners can critically reflect on their practice, explore clinical challenges, and strengthen decision-making. This includes a focus on risk management, ethical practice, and the maintenance of clear professional boundaries. Cultural responsiveness is central to my approach. I actively incorporate Te Ao Māori perspectives and support practitioners to work in ways that uphold mana, whanaungatanga, and culturally safe practice.

< Back Chalk Your Truth Games & Kai Kapiti Youth Support (KYS) Target Age: 13-18 Address: When: 19 May 2026 12:00 am kahliwaghorn@kys.org.nz PRIVATE EVENT Our event aims to create a safe and inclusive space for taiohi in Kāpiti to freely express their voices and share how they experience being heard in their communities. Through creative and verbal expression, the event will highlight youth perspectives and ensure their voices are seen and heard by the wider community. The event will include three key activities. First, youth interviews, where taiohi can choose to answer open-ended questions such as “When do you feel most heard?”, “How do you express your voice?”, and “What do you wish people understood about youth?”. With consent, these interviews will be recorded and later shared online as a short montage so their messages can reach a wider audience. Second, a chalkboard expression station, where rangatahi can anonymously write or draw their responses to the same prompts. Participants can choose to have a photo taken with their board, which will be combined into a collage representing collective youth voices. Finally, a free sausage sizzle and music will create a welcoming environment that encourages participation, connection, and community among young people. The event will take place over three days, across Kapiti College, Paraparaumu College, and Ōtaki College. Previous Next
