Whakanuia te oranga o nga tangata katoa
To Enhance the Wellbeing of All People
“We need to be surrounded by those who see our strengths and what we can offer the world. [We want] a future where recovery is the focus and people can grow into the fullness of who they deserve to be. Māori with lived experience.”
Guided by the Te Ara Tauwhirotanga Model & Mahi a Atua principles. We imagine wayfinding through an uncharted taiao the right way. The right time is now; to provide our tangata a safe and warm space in the community, guided by tikanga and informed practice.
Our connection to the Tokaanu Marae
In 1898 Takarea Te Heuheu had a vision whereby all people would come to Tokaanu to be healed and to learn and be reconnected to their whakapapa. This rich history is the basis for our charity.
