Ara Taiohi

Kia ora! My background includes extensive work with young people across Aotearoa New Zealand through my previous work as a youth pastor in both the North Island and the South Island, as well as six years working as an Attitude presenter for The Parenting Place, Auckland. Through this job, I travelled the country speaking to young people about their mental health and wellbeing. I have over 1000 hours experience public speaking to young people (through both Attitude and speaking at other events throughout the country) and have trained many others to communicate effectively with young people. Together, my wife and I run a business called HeadsUp, providing counselling, courses and presentations. www.headsupwellbeing.com
