This hui strengthened a co-response approach, bringing together frontline crisis support, clinical expertise, and kaupapa Māori services to better meet the needs of whānau during critical moments. It also supported stronger alignment across services, ensuring a more connected and responsive system of care.

Through these partnerships, Whakahohoro Te Hau continues to provide responsive, compassionate support for whānau when they need it most.
