Mots-clés :
Māori Social Workers , Family Voice in Research , Grandchildren’s Wellbeing , Parihaka peace resistance movementRésumé
My PhD research focussed on Māori (Indigenous people to Aotearoa New Zealand) social workers and how their growing up experiences impact on their social work practice. A secondary aspect to this research was that social workers’ whānau (extended family network) were also interviewed and shared family wellness and wellbeing perspectives. The author presented at the 7th International Indigenous Voices in Social Work conference in August 2025 and focussed on two aspects from the whānau voice of the research – the Parihaka peace resistance movement and Mokopuna Ora (the flourishing and wellbeing of our grandchildren).
