Dis—connect
to better things
We believe that reconnecting with our natural environment is one of the best ways to step away from the harm caused online.
Based in Te Tai Tokerau Northland, we are an initiative of Tuhiata Mahiora, standing up against online harm and harmful behaviour.
Our mission is to provide tools and resources to address issues like cyberbullying, phishing, and other forms of online harm.
We hope to inspire rangatahi to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with the real world, fostering healthier and more meaningful connections.
He moana pukepuke e ekengia e te waka.
A sea of social media can bring many digital challenges, but the surrounding coastlines of Te Taitokerau can help guide and connect us with the real world.

Tuhiata Mahi Ora
At Tuhiata we are on a Kaupapa to show Rangatahi that life holds endless possibilities for happiness and fulfilment - if only we're willing to seek them out. While our focus remains on promoting positive digital interactions, we're equally passionate about inspiring young people to embrace the richness of life beyond the screen.
If you’re a young person living in Te Hiku and you’re looking for support, Tuhiata has an amazing team of youth workers and mentors that can help.
