Ngā Kūaka
An Inaugural DBT Conference for Aotearoa
He kāhui kuaka kua tau ki te tāhuna
Save the date: Monday 14th and Tuesday 15th of October 2024, Wellington.
Advance notice of the inaugural Aotearoa DBT conference Ngā Kūaka, to be held in-person in Wellington on Monday 14th and Tuesday 15th of October 2024, 9-4.30 pm on both days. The theme of this conference is focused on expanding the access and reach of DBT. It is our hope that we will offer you a nourishing and inspiring gathering, that will help us collectively identify ways we can make this therapy more responsive and accessible in Aotearoa, particularly to those who are experiencing inequity.
Further details of the conference will be announced soon. If you would like to present at the conference or assist with the organising then please be in touch.
We are very grateful to Dr. Jennifer Hauraki and her father, Thomas Hauraki (Kaumātua; Ngāti Whātua, Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Whanaunga), for suggesting the name of this conference while acknowledging the Muriwhenua iwi tradition associated with the kūaka. Dr. Hauraki notes that the name relates to 'the godwits that come from as far as Alaska and Siberia to Aotearoa and are well known in the north where we are from. The fattening up that these birds do in Aotearoa is similar to those who will congregate at our conference from afar, to acquire and share knowledge, before taking it home with them to spread and continue. “He kāhui kuaka kua tau ki te tāhuna” – a flock of kuaka lands on the sand dunes.'
