Te Whanau Tokotokorangi Trust

Te Whānau Tokotokorangi Trust is a Kaupapa Māori health provider in the health and disability sector.  We have been operating since 1992 and have spent years fighting for the rights of Māori to be recognised and the rights of people with disabilities to have a fairer place in the communities. We have the experience, skills and knowledge to do more in the community, for our people.

Our concept of health and well-being not only include an individual’s physical and mental health, but the person’s emotional and spiritual health. This holistic understanding also situates the individual within the context of relationships to family, community, and the environment. However, as currently practiced, most mainstream health services delivery only addresses a specific symptom of illness, leaving out other important, sometimes instrumental factors that are necessary for good health outcomes.

Therefore, we actively encourage an integrated, holistic wellness model as the pathway to better health outcomes, which leads to healthier individuals & families and healthier communities.
