For our culturally led and clinically supported mental health and addictions service, Te Kaupapa, every day is about prioritising mātauranga Māori as a pathway to wellness and positive wellbeing for whānau 🌱

“Through a series of waananga delivered to groups and individuals, our Pou Oranga offer narrative therapy and therapeutic waananga to help support the improvement of whaanau wellbeing,” explains Practice Lead Anneke Hepi.

“Some of the therapeutic practices in waananga are: karakia, whakawaatea, pure, taonga puoro, mahi toi, maramataka for wellness, and rongoaa ki te taiao.”
