Te Taha Whānau | Ministry of Health NZ

Te Taha Whānau is about the people who make you feel like you belong, who you care about and who you share your life with.
Whānau is about extended relationships - it's not just your immediate relatives. It's your
friends, hoamahi (colleagues), community and the people you care about.
Developed by leading Māori health advocate Sir Mason Durie in 1984, Te Whare Tapa Whā is a holistic model of health that describes hauora and wellbeing as a wharenui/meeting house with four walls.
