This book is a collection of material by Maori practitioners. It is a practical and accessible resource for those working alongside whanau Maori. Each chapter demonstrates clear links between practice and philosophy, situating these in whakaaro Maori and in contemporary Western ideas.
Practice stories show Maori cultural ethics at work in: counselling, supervision, group work, research, advocacy, and professional education. In their weaving of whakaaro Maori and narrative practice, the stories will inform and inspire practitioners who work alongside Maori, in diverse settings.
Throughout the book the voices of both whanau and counsellor explore what happens when mana is recognised, called into presence, and engaged in the task of reimagining the future.
