15 – 21 September is Speech‑language Therapy Awareness Week: Let’s embrace Wairuatanga together!
At ABI, our Speech and Language Therapists (SLTs) work across our services – with adults and tamariki – supporting communication, swallowing, connection, and identity. These are all vital elements of holistic hauora.
This week, we celebrate the essential role communication plays in the wellbeing of individuals, whānau, and communities.
At the same time, this campaign invites us to turn the mirror inward – encouraging SLTs to reflect on their own wellbeing, and how we can continue to support each other as a professional community. By taking care of ourselves, we ensure we can keep providing the best care and support for our kiritaki and their whānau.
A big ngā mihi to all our SLTs – thank you for the incredible mahi you do with kiritaki, within the IDT, supporting students, and in leadership across our services. Your work makes a real difference every day.
