Compass Seminars presents "Mauri Ora" with Sir Mason Durie.Compass Seminars is delighted to bring you the opportunity to spend a day with Sir Mason Durie who will discuss a range of topics relating to principles for working with Māori and Māori development. Sir Mason speaks with a freshness and clarity of understanding, if you have been fortunate enough to hear him speak before you will know that this is an opportunity not to be missed.
Regardless of whether your professional focus is on prevention, promotion, treatment, education, rehabilitation or development, well-being is ultimately dependent upon the dynamic interaction of people with each other and with the wider cultural, social, economic, political and physical environments in which people live.

Some of the key areas that will be discussed include:
Mauri Ora, Mauri Noho – flourishing and languishing
Te Pae Mahutonga - Navigating towards health and wellbeing
Oranga whanau – family foundations for health and wellbeing
He Huarahi Oranga – best outcomes for therapeutic encounters
Kawa Oranga – addressing contemporary environments
He Ara Oranga – pathways to mental health and wellness
Whakawatea te Ara – paradigm shifts for health and wellbeing
The application of Māori perspectives to therapeutic interventions
Sir Mason will be speaking about issues that are relevant to all professionals working in health, welfare, education and community settings.
