Nobody is hard to reach, it just depends on the approach taken
H2R Research and Consulting Ltd was established to improve outcomes in health and well-being for hard to reach Māori communities in Aotearoa New Zealand. We support this by penetrating, engaging and mobilising hard to reach communities to build hope, raise aspirations and to become self-managing. This work involves thought leadership, building connections with health and social service providers, and helping hard to reach communities design and deliver initiatives and services for themselves.

Community initiativesThe key to transforming communities is to inspire and rebuild hope. Using our community mobilisation approach, we have helped to develop health and wellbeing initiatives, education and employment programmes, and built leadership and capacity in Hard to Reach communities.

Who is Hard to Reach?

Our frameworkOur framework is premised on the need to penetrate, engage and mobilise marginalised communities. We believe people change because they want to change, and we draw on the principles of community mobilisation to encourage that change. Community mobilisation is designed to help communities build services and initiatives for themselves.
