RBPAotearoa

RBPAotearoa was formed after working together for many years in the counselling and psychotherapy field. In 2012 Dr Allan Wade presented in Hawkes Bay and there was finally a collection of thinking that just made sense. A way to work alongside people that acknowledges, upholds, and honours their dignity, resistance and cultural knowledge. In 2015, RBPA hosted the first Dignity conference outside Canada/Turtle Island. In the following years, RBPA has continued to research, support and provide training & education to social service professionals with workshops, presentations and clinical supervision for professional development.

Response-Based Contextual Analysis with 4 Opps

Response-Based Practice Aotearoa

Mana-Informed Response Based Practice is Indigenous centred, systemic and rooted in social justice. It finds meaning in social interactions and the way people use or respond to all forms of violence, both seen and unseen. It honours the sacred fire that burns within, the spiritual power and desire for wholeness, connection and healing.
