"Chur! All Good, Bro?" A Tāne Māori Suicide Prevention Resource Aimed at Supporting Māori Men on Their Journey Towards Mauri Ora
Abstract
Taku tapuwae ko te tapuwae nui o Tāne; Tāne-i-te-wānanga, Tāne-nui-ā-rangi. I pikitia ai ngā rangi-tū-hāhā, ki te Tihi-o-Manono. I rokohina atu rā, ko Io te-matua-kore anake.
I riro iho ai ngā Kete o te Wānanga:
Ko te Kete Tuauri
Ko te Kete Tuatea
Ko te Kete Aronui,
Ka tiritiria ka poupoua ki Papa-tūānuku
Ka puta te ira tangata ki te whaiao
Ki te Ao marama! Tīhei Mauri Ora.
The pūrākau of Tāne and his ascent through the heavens to
the uppermost realm to obtain the three kete/baskets of knowledge from Io, is the foundation from which this presentation has been constructed. Pūrākau (Māori storytelling) is a traditional framework from which Māori can gain understanding and connection, supporting positive mental health and wellbeing for Māori.
In Aotearoa, Tāne Māori have been identified by Every Life Matters as one of the highest demographics for suicide deaths and therefore a key audience for suicide prevention initiatives. There are no resources at all tailored specifically to tāne Māori. This whakaaro gave birth to a tāne Māori suicide prevention kaupapa we call "Chur! All good, bro?".
Through this presentation we aim to give you a glimpse into the "Chur! All good, bro?" kaupapa.
To start, we will provide insight into some of the key contributors to suicidal ideation for tāne Māori in Aotearoa.
We will then dive into the pūrākau of Tānenuiārangi and unpack how pūrākau Māori is a framework to support tāne Māori to reach a space of Ora.
Following on, we will discuss the CHUR acronym, its terminology, and how it may support us to best engage with tāne Māori going through tough times.
Finally, we will recap on these parts and discuss what the future can look like by implementing kaupapa Māori in our conversation with our tāne Māori and whānau.
