The Pōwhiri Purakau and Motivational Interviewing flyer

Kia Ngātahi te waihoe
Ka huri te kei o te waka Whatiwhati ngaru
Haere ki tua, papapounamu te moana E topa, e rere ki te paerangi

Paddle as one
Turn the bow of the canoe
Cut through the waves
Go beyond to where the waters are flat, that you may fly to the horizon

• GAIN: Knowledge of the Maori worldview and engagement processes of the Pōwhiri and use of Pūrakau (narratives of origin) and their applicability with youth and emerging adults
• UNDERSTAND: How motivational interviewing practices differ with youth and emerging adults
• KNOW: The fundamental MI skills: youth deserve your flexible adaptability
• PRACTICE:  Cultural and developmentally sensitive clinical MI skills
