"I've had people from everywhere doing haka on the page from Korea, America, Wales, Hong Kong, I was blown away how many people across the world have taken part," she said.
Arianna recently teamed up with comedian Mike King who is the mental health educator with his charity The Key to Life Charitable Trust. With the support of Te Runanga o Ngati Pikiao, she recently toured with him speaking at events in Taupo.
"We just need to talk about it, if you feel sad or mad just talk about it there are people out there who will listen."
Her papa Michael Naera also worked for Te Runanga o Ngati Pikiao as the Kia Piki Te Ora (Suicide Prevention Service) project leader. He works throughout the Lakes District Health Board region to provide support for suicide prevention and mental health promotion.
"Arianna was speaking at a marae in Taupo about the type of strategies in place for rangitahi (young people)," Mr Naera (Uenukukopako, Ngati Pikiao) said.
"It's a community development approach incorporating Maori tikanga and kawa according to their needs."
Mr Naera said they aimed to help whanau be aware of the signs of youth at risk.
"Our role is to ensure there is education around those types of things and demystifying the whole notion around suicide, the burying outside the urupa, one day tangi - we go there talking about the whanau and support the grieving whanau."
Mr Naera said they hoped to ensure every marae agenda, iwi, hapu were talking about this important issue: "We focus too much on the risk and Maoridom should look at aspirations, strong leadership, to have every single whanau take that leadership role to ensure our rangitahi have a future."
He said his mokopuna Arianna had just spoken at the national Maori Women's Welfare League hui in Tauranga. Her work was also recognised at the recent Te Arawa Awards.
"It's a huge stage, our Maori women are leaders in changing attitudes. The whole whanau are very proud of Arianna and for the kaupapa of making a change. She wants to make a difference," he said.
