Second thing was at the start, not one of them, and there were eight or nine who went through this programme, not one of them could think of one person who might want to come to their graduation from the programme.
it was sobering anyway what they did was they didn't focus on the smoking they provided these women with ways to get control back over their lives gave them agency and that included introducing them to vapes and different ways they could reduce or quit their smoking but that wasn't the focus yes they quit smoking but actually by the time they graduated and of course with the
amazing support of all their whānau who did come their lives had been switched around so in essence we all respond to the environment that's around us and our ability to control what's happening around us or our agency and for some people and thankfully it's less and less smoking was the only thing that they could affordably do that they felt gave them some control.
Yeah, or some reward or some relax or some release.
There was their thing for themselves.
My mum just had a double knee replacement and she did prehab.
She got ready for her surgery.
She took into account the key that she would need post-surgery and she got herself strong like you did for the territorials before she had this operation.
Now, there's no trauma in so much as it's not a surprise trauma.
Obviously, having bits of your bones sawn off and new knees put in, there's some trauma, right?
Localised trauma.
But it wasn't an accident.
The context of hospitals without people in them, like during COVID, people's hospital experience was significantly impacted in a negative way from all the regular people who weren't there.
People like family members, visitors, hospital chaplains, all these auxiliary people who would care for and support the person who was sick.
So our environment is profound.
How do we have a more holistic sense of our own health and well-being?
Because in essence, no doctor or surgeon can fix me.
My health, in essence, is not going to be resolved or solved by some person out there, is it?
Yeah, and I think this goes to the heart of what, you know, health is, or hauora, and I love the Māori term because it's, and Mason Durie, you know, Sir Mason Durie developed this beautiful model, Te Whare Tapafa, the four-walled house, and each of the walls is important, and if one is not strong...
then the house is at risk.
