Te Whare Hauora o Mangatoatoa Paa

About Our Whare Hauora

Te Whare Hauora o Mangatoatoa Paa operates under the principles of Te Whare Tapa Whā, a Māori model of health and wellbeing that emphasizes a holistic approach.

This model is framed around four interdependent dimensions: Taha Tinana (physical health), Taha Hinengaro (mental health), Taha Whānau (family health), and Taha Wairua (spiritual health).

The kaupapa is dedicated to promoting the well-being of whānau through an array of cost-free services designed to meet diverse needs.

These services may include mental health support, physical health programs, and cultural enrichment activities, all tailored to strengthen the connections among individuals and their families.

Cinic waiting area

By prioritizing a whānau-centered approach, Te Whare Hauora o Mangatoatoa Paa fosters a supportive environment where community members can access resources that nurture their overall health.
