Mātanga Oranga
Workshops

Mātanga Oranga offers Black Rain Workshops – healing intergenerational trauma through a Kaupapa Māori and Pasifika approach.

These workshops are available for Counsellors, Social Workers and Practitioners who work with people affected by trauma.

Black Rain is a Kaupapa Māori service which uses a Māori model of practice for trauma informed care.

It was developed by Visionwest’s Mātanga Oranga Trauma Specialist Faye Pouesi to successfully connect whānau holistically on a spiritual and emotional level with the impacts of intergenerational whānau violence. This deep connection enables whānau, with significant trauma histories, to begin their healing and recovery.
