Te Whare Tapa Whā
Te Whare tapa whā was developed in 1984 by Sir Mason Durie. This model describes hauora (health and wellbeing) as a wharenui (meeting house) - a house of four walls. Each wall represents a dimension of our health, and our connection to the whenua/land forms the foundation. When one or more of these walls are out of balance, our hauora (wellbeing) is impacted. We need these different dimensions to be in balance for strength and stability. By nurturing and strengthening each of these areas, we can support our holistic health and wellbeing.
