About Tai Neke, Tai Ora

Tai Neke, Tai Ora is a new approach to whānau hauora that builds upon our successful Navigator Tinana programme. It focuses on the four aspects of wellbeing outlined in Te Whare Tapa Whā: taha tinana (physical), taha hinengaro (mental and emotional), taha whānau (social) and taha wairua (spiritual). Tai Neke, Tai Ora is here to support kaupapa that will help whānau understand the importance of nurturing all aspects of their hauora, as well as building a connection to te ao Māori.

Tai Neke, Tai Ora is open to individuals and groups who want to create an event, project or programme that will help achieve these aspirations.

Tai Neke, Tai Ora promotes a range of different approaches that help whānau to lead healthy lifestyles, and embed understanding of the importance of hauora.
