Te Whare Tapa Whā – Health and Wellbeing
Te Whare Tapa Whā is a Māori health concept illustrating the four cornerstones of Māori health and wellbeing (hauora). With its strong foundations and four equal sides, the wharenui represents the four elements of Māori well-being.
Although Te Whare Tapa Whā is a Māori health concept, it equally applies to Pacific health and wellbeing.
The Elements of Māori Health and Wellbeing (Hauora)
• taha hinengaro – mental health and emotions.
• taha wairua – spiritual health.
• taha tinana – physical health.
• taha whānau – social, family and community.
