The Kindness Institute develops, delivers and grows mindfulness and stress management programs in partnership with rangatahi throughout Tāmaki Makaurau. Core aspects of our kaupapa include:
Community-mandated, rangatahi-led
Aligned with kaupapa Māori principles
Guided by Te Whare Tapa Whā health framework
Tuku Iho (training the trainer) model of passing on knowledge
Our rangatahi are empowered to teach mindfulness, yoga and stress management tools to their community. This model has been hugely successful to date, especially with regard to enhancing wellbeing and strengthening identity, connection and access to opportunities.
Our kaupapa is also focused on educating, encouraging and promoting mental health and wellbeing, as well as promoting community connectedness, social participation and cultural expression. You can learn more about TKI on our website: https://thekindnessinstitute.com/
