Te Ora o Te Ao

Te Puna o Te Ao Māori is a whānau-wellbeing pathway grounded in identity, tikanga, whakapapa and connection.

It supports whānau to strengthen cultural confidence, relationships, customary responsibilities and the knowledge needed to live well as Māori in the present world.

The focus is on wellbeing that reaches beyond immediate crisis: restoring belonging, strengthening capability and protecting what must continue for future generations.

Progress, always.

Every whānau has different needs, and no single form of support is right for everybody.

We help identify therapeutic and wellbeing pathways that are timely, culturally appropriate and centred on the needs of the person and their whānau.

This may include connecting with counsellors, psychologists, trauma-informed practitioners, rongoā Māori providers, health services and other qualified professionals.

Our role is to listen, help clarify what support is being sought, assist with referrals and advocate for services that respect whakapapa, identity, lived experience and whānau goals.

We understand everybody has different needs so collaborate with hand-picked professionals to secure timely, professional whanau-focused therapy for our whanau.

Te Whanau Waka Ora are our mobile units built to provide confidential holistic welfare services in times of need.

Our units are mobile so our services can be delivered immediately.
