Sexual violence from a Te Ao Māori is an absolute violation of the mana of a person and the collective mana of whanau, hapū and iwi. Similarly, for all people, rangahau (research) consistently reports that experiencing sexual violence can have detrimental effects on wāhine, within this, the research recognises there is room for growth in Whānaungatanga, tinana, hinengaro and wairua. Embracing a trauma-focused cognitive-behavioural (CBT) framework, psychoeducation enables wāhine to ‘make-sense’ of their painful memories. Building on this increased sense of self we incorporate Mason Durie’s, Te Whare Tapa Wha model (1984) which provides a framework for growth of their holistic wellbeing. To achieve this growth, we facilitate a 2 hour, 8-weekly programme; dedicating shared time between education and crafts. The topics covered include: whakatau (to welcome) & kawa (protocol), sleep hygiene, boundaries, nutrition, exercise and emotions; particularly anxiety and anger. During this programme we use Te Whare Tapa Wha to assist wāhine to further develop their strengths as they develop their own individual wellness whare. Evidence-based research indicates artistry, craft and creativity also helps ameliorate the impact of tūkino (sexual violence). In this place of healing by engaging in crafts, wāhine communicate with each other while they explore a complex variety of experiences, differing values and emotions. Our aupapa is to provide nurturing, compassion, Whānaungatanga and māramatanga (enlightenment) with our wāhine to enhance their mana.
