Our Team of Tuuhono-Connectors

Tuuhono-Connectors are members of the Enabling Good Lives team who work alongside disabled people, tangata whaikaha, and whaanau.
Their approach is grounded in Enabling Good Lives principles, with a strong focus on relationship-building.
They support people to develop their own Good Life Plan, make meaningful connections within their community, and access information and support that they choose.
Connectors walk alongside people over time, building authentic relationships that respect people’s strengths, aspirations, and self-determination.
