Developed by leading Māori health advocate Sir Mason Durie in 1984, Te Whare Tapa Whā is a holistic model of health that describes hauora and wellbeing as a wharenui/meeting house with four walls.
These walls represent taha wairua/spiritual wellbeing, taha hinengaro/mental and emotional wellbeing, taha tinana/physical wellbeing and taha whānau/family and social wellbeing. Our connection with the whenua/land forms the foundation.
When all these things are in balance, we thrive. When one or more of these is out of balance, our wellbeing is impacted.
Te Whare Tapa Whā is about maintaining not just physical and mental health but also social and spiritual connections in order to promote good health.
