Community Access Media Alliance is the national body for the 12 independently-owned Community Access Media stations across Aotearoa. Our vision is for Aotearoa to have a vibrant, diverse, innovative, and sustainable Community Access Media sector valued for its democratic, community, and cultural uniqueness.
Wanting to be a broadcaster, radio host, content-creator, programme-maker, show-maker, or podcaster? Our 12 stations can help you make your own media. On-air or online, radio is a simple and inexpensive way to talk to your community-of-interest in any language.
Whether you’re a government entity, NGO, non-profit, company, or organisation, we can help you tailor your messages to speak directly and authentically to your target audience – in their language.
Now more than ever, local voices need to be heard. We’re building a more inclusive media landscape — one where everyone has access to create, participate, and thrive. But we can’t do it without you.
Your donation helps the sector keep the mics on:
Your donation can help create a future where media is made by, for, and about the community.

If a person has been bullied, intimidated or abused before, their trauma can be retriggered by a current experience of being bullied. Unpacking the feelings relating to the current situation and identifying what is being retriggered from a previous experience, can be beneficial to making sense of the impact of the current situation. Awareness of how previous experiences shape responses to new experiences of being bullied can assist people to develop more resilience around bullying but also heighten their sensitivity to it so they are more aware of it happening and attempt to remove themselves from the situation. We will also discuss the role of by-standers, mobbing and gaslighting as aspects of group bullying behaviour.
