| Our Kaupapa |
|
|
| |
| Our kaupapa is our sense of vision, our philosophy, the fundamental principles which guide our mahi (work). At Te Puna we strive to fufil our kaupapa in all that we do. |
| |
| Our Mission Statement |
|
Committed to supporting people, children, young persons and their families to make informed choices to regain their dignity (mana) and to provided a health service by staff who care and commit their collective knowledge and skills to the
kaupapa.
|
The efforts of Te Puna Hauora services are underpinned in nga, Tika, Pono and Aroha. |
| |
| Our Vision Statement |
|
Our vision is to make New Zealand a better place for our children and our children’s children. |
To strive for equality and fairness.Working in partnership with friends and allies, who share our values, creating their own successes, with skill and passion. |
Celebrating differences, nourishing opportunities for action, and being leaders in everything we do. |
| |
| Our Whakatauki |
|
These whakatauki underpin the kaupapa Maori component of our model. The attitude of practice must reflect the spirit contained in this whakatauki, entwined throughout delivery at every level. |
| |
He mea nui? - he tangata, he tangata, he tangata |
What is important? – it is people, it is people, it is people |
| |
He aha te huarahi? – i runga, i te TIKA, te PONO, me te AROHA. |
What is the pathway? – it is doing what is right with integrity and compassion. |
| |
TIKA – the agreed pathway is a shared understanding and vision, to support clients, internal/allied colleagues and our organisations to achieve maximum potential with equity |
| |
| PONO – our decisions are underpinned by, and made with integrity |
| |
AROHA – compassion to care enough for those affected by inequalities and to challenge comfort zones in an effort to make a healthy difference for the population we are funded to serve |
| |
These whakatauki underpin the kaupapa Maori component of our model. The attitude of practice must reflect the spirit contained in this whakatauki, entwined throughout delivery at every level.
The restoration of Mana of people cannot take place unless the other three parts of the corner stone of Maori health are underpinned by the fourth, which is Taha Wairua (spiritual component) drawn from the Whare Tapa Wha model as articulated by Professor Mason Durie.
|
TAHA TINANA – Physical
TAHA HINENGARO – Mental
TAHA WHANAU - Whanau
TAHA WAIRUA – Spiritual |
| |
Our Kaupapa Maori model of delivery is encapsulated in our Harakeke-IMAP model. This model when practiced within it’s true spirit, both generic and kaupapa Maori, is the korowai which encompasses the individual, whanau, hapu and iwi. It focuses and brings alive the whakatauki which we have heard mai raano. It is the heartbeat of Maori development when practiced in partnership with different groups biculturally, multiculturally, intersectorally, intra-sectorally, intra-physically. |
