Students practise communication that protects mana while raising concern.
How this handout aligns
The conversation prompts help students open a kōrero, reflect back with care, and avoid common responses that shut someone down. That supports real communication learning.
Strong when kaiako want students to practise what support language actually sounds like.
Students understand that healthy help-seeking includes moving concerns toward trusted adults.
How this handout aligns
The card clearly distinguishes supportive peer listening from responsibilities that belong with adults. That makes the help-seeking pathway explicit and safer.
Useful where teachers want support literacy without putting counselling expectations onto students.
Students engage with wellbeing support in ways that are relational and culturally grounded.
How this handout aligns
The resource frames support through whānau, trusted adults, manaakitanga, and safe community. That aligns more strongly with Aotearoa health teaching than generic peer-support scripts.
Most useful where kaiako want support language that is relational rather than individualised and abstract.
Students consider that “safe support” may look different for different people.
How this handout aligns
The page explicitly notes that the right support may be whānau, a mentor, or another safe adult depending on context. That improves inclusivity and classroom safety.
Helpful where kaiako need culturally respectful and context-aware support teaching rather than one rigid pathway.
