We recognise the unique place and needs of tangata whenua and are working with our kaumatua and cultural advisers to improve the range and quality of services we offer to Mãori in ways that refl ect the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi.  We are committed to providing a culturally affirming service, utilising resources available specifically for Mãori, and referring callers to kaupapa Mãori treatment services when requested.

Kaupapa Mãori is a frame of mind and way of working that is built on a Mãori world-view.  Kaupapa Mãori treatment is concerned with whãnau ora, not just symptom relief or management.  It recognises that culture and cultural experiences are crucial to the development and maintenance of good health, and brings together the elements of wairua (spiritual), hinengaro (mental and emotional), whãnau (family) and tinana (physical). Ideally kaupapa Mãori services are developed, delivered and evaluated by Mãori, supported
by kaumãtua and mandated by manawhenua/iwi kainga.  Treatment is provided in a range of settings and in ways that acknowledge and respond to the variety of experiences of contemporary Mãori. The Helpline has a comprehensive list of kaupapa Mãori services available in Aotearoa.
