Support and Training

Manaaki Mats are not just a resource, they represent a system of care.

​

We train healthcare teams to use Manaaki Mats with confidence and compassion, so every family receives the same gentle, informed support wherever they are.

​

Our online training covers not just how to use the mats, but how to set up the entire system, with resources for parents, information on freezers, and how to engage your community in making covers. Training also covers how to talk with bereaved parents about their choices, and how they can make the most of the time they have.

Training includes case studies, which give a deeper understanding of how Manaaki Mats can be used in complex situations.

​

We stay connected with every hospital, hospice and provider we work with, offering ongoing support after the initial training. This is what makes Manaaki Mats different, it's not just about supplying a product, it's about the care that surrounds it.
