To help us look after ourselves and our whānau we can use Te whare tapa whā, a holistic Māori health model that represents wellbeing as a wharenui. The wharenui has four cornerstones or walls for us to care for:
- Taha tinana – physical wellbeing
- Taha hinengaro – mental wellbeing
- Taha whanāu – family, community, and social wellbeing
- Taha wairua – spiritual wellbeing.
Learn more about Te whare tapa whā and how to support our wharenui walls from the pages linked to below. You can also find information about the Pasifika Fonofale health model.
