The Whare Tapa Whā

The Whare Tapa Whā

Te Whare Tapa Whā was developed as a holistic and balanced approach to health and wellbeing by Sir Mason Durie (Rangitāne, Ngāti Kauwhata and Ngāti Raukawa) and first published in 1982. This interpretation was developed to create a snapshot to show how people are feeling individually and as a group, in terms of the five fundamental aspects of holistic wellbeing. The framework highlights areas of individual strength as well as those areas that are not feeling so strong and it also shows where a group is strong, and where it currently is not. Kingi Gilbert developed this beautiful design for us in our work with  Local Area Coordinators at Journey Together and AccessAbility.
