Taiohi Ora includes a Kaiwhakapiki Hauora team (consisting of a social worker, nurse and counsellor) and kaihāpai - community connectors who work within our communities to identify and engage with whānau and taiohi who need help.
We also run group programmes, called Taiohi Tū, in some Taranaki schools.
