Brooke Brake

O lo’u igoa o Amituana’i Brooke Brake. No Hāmoa, Nō Norfolk Island, Nō Engarangi ōku tipuna. I tupu aki au ki Tāmaki Makarau nō Ngā Iwi Moemoea. E noho ana au ki te Puaha o Waikato.

I’m a registered Social Worker who grew up professionally in South Auckland working in mental health, service development/ improvement and suicide pre and postvention. As part of the Te Aho whānau I work as part of the Aoake te Rā and Ngā Kohi Rau teams.

I believe there is strength in working together to support whānau and communities impacted by suicide loss.

People often describe me as quiet, organised and calm.

I’m a wife and a busy mama of four sporty children living in rural North Waikato. Outside of mahi you will find me being an Uber driver for my children, reading a good book or enjoying the awesome west coast beaches.
