These are institutions and attitudes that instil w'akamā into our communities. W'akamā: shame. It's one of the biggest killers of Māori: too w'akamā to ask for help, to ask for help out of addictions, to ask for help when we're pōhara, to ask for help out of abuse, to ask for help when our w'ānau aren't doing well. At the very least, we need to be focusing on eliminating systemic racism. We need to pour our energy into addressing barriers. We need to make sure that the resources and the wraparound support is there for communities in order to ensure our w'ānau get what they need to deal with these complex issues. We must be focused on holistic wellbeing and its determinants, rather than continuing with piecemeal and uncoordinated approaches. We need to invest in each other.
