Maori Mental Health

Whakatauki: Hikia te mana o tangata whaiora me te whanau

Proverb: Rebuilding the prestige of service users and their families

We are a team of Maori mental health professionals who practice with a Maori world view. This is to facilitate and initiate a journey of whakaoranga (recovery) for tangata whaiora and their whanau.

The purpose of having a Maori mental health service is to meet the needs of Maori tangata wahaiora and their whanau while in mainstream services.

As a service we are committed to respecting our obligations to the Treaty of Waitangi, and towards providing culturally safe and appropriate services in Partnership with tangata whaiora.

All our staff are appropriately trained, qualified and supervised to help provide you with good quality and safe care.

We are skilled in:
