Description
Te Toi Ora ki Whaingaroa offers a range of clinical, social, mental health and Rongoa Māori services on behalf of the Whaingaroa Rohe.
Led by Poihākena Marae, we provide our whānau and wider community with case management, manāki support, and connect them to hauora Māori services, including mirimiri and mahi tinana.
Our vision is a whare hauora based in tikanga māori offering more holistic care that fills the gaps for our whānau. Hauora māori: for māori, by māori, for our hapori.
Poihakena Marae: Our current meeting house. The whare tupuna is Tainui a Whiro. Our marae connects to the Tainui waka, the moana Whaingāroa, the awa Wainui and the maunga Karioi.
Ages
Youth / Rangatahi, Adult / Pakeke, Older adult / Kaumātua
