Bachelor of Sport Coaching
Whnau Ora Coordinator, Purapura Whetu
Im working for Purapura Whetu, which is a Mori based mental health organisation. We work from a Kaupapa Mori perspective, so we integrate Mori philosophies into our treatment and try to make our clients feel more connected to their Mori side. Its less clinical than what you get from mainstream mental health organisations.
At UC I learned skills that I use everyday in my job, like organisational skills, communication skills, professionalism and knowledge of physical activity. I walked away from uni being able to implement really strong life skills into my working practice.
