‘Have I interested your curiosity….? Come in and see us….’
Our kaupapa is based on a holistic biopsychosocial model of wellbeing which draws upon Sir Mason Durie’s Te Whare Tapa Whā model of health.
The model is based on the metaphor of a wharehui / meeting house with four walls, each representing a different dimension of wellbeing: taha tinana (physical health), taha wairua (spiritual health), taha whānau (family health), and taha hinengaro (mental health).
A fifth dimension of whenua was subsequently added to the model as the foundation for the other four dimensions. Whenua can be thought about as ‘your place of belonging’. For Māori, the whenua is a key part of identity. The model emphasises the importance of caring for all five aspects of wellbeing to support hauora / wellbeing.
