This initiative is dedicated to supporting whānau affected by drug and alcohol issues through a compelling 4-part podcast series and an impactful in-person event. The podcast will feature intimate interviews with māmā who have navigated these challenges from different perspectives e.g.: their own experience, navigating their partner’s or husband’s addiction, or navigating their child’s struggle. These stories aim to provide insight, foster understanding, and offer hope to others in similar situations.
The series will culminate in an in-person event designed to further support and engage the community. The event will include a talk panel, interactive mini workshops, and giveaways, all focused on creating a space for connection, learning, and holistic healing.
Māmā Māia seeks to illuminate the strength and resilience of māmā, equipping them with practical tools and emotional support, while raising awareness and sparking meaningful conversations about addiction and recovery.
