Laura Campbell

Kia ora, I’m Laura the Programme Coordinator for Here Toitū. I hail from the wonderful Wairarapa but now call the Manawatū home. I’m formally from a background in Education. My official journey into the Health and Wellbeing sector began when I worked for Life Education Trust, teaching tamariki and rangatahi with Healthy Harold about how our brain and bodies work, and tools we can use to look after ourselves and others. I loved this mahi and realised I wanted to shift my career focus into advocating for others, particularly when life gets tough. At times in our lives we all experience adversity – such as trauma, loss, financial struggle, or declining health – yet with the right support and tools we can overcome those obstacles and find purpose. Our team are here to support whānau through those times, and I could not be prouder to work in this area of mahi.
