Te Puna Hauora (Waitemata)
The winning Whānau Kaupapa in the Whānau Ora Awards can be found on Auckland's North Shore located at Te Puna Hauora. Te Puna Hauora has been built on this project which was the development of a kaupapa Maori model of delivery – Te Puna Hauora's Harakeke – I MAP model.
The Harakeke – I MAP model is an impressively documented Best Practice model where the heart of the flax is the individual and whānau who weave the flax into the shape they want for their health and wellbeing.
Around the individual and whānau is the Te Puna Hauora team who work with them to help set priorities for their health and social needs.
And beyond the Te Puna Hauora team are the external organisations who might also be called upon as part of the integrated management plan.
In this model the 'I's have it. I is for Individual management. I is for Interdisciplinary management. And I is for Integrated management.
Harakeke I MAP gives individuals and whānau the ability to 'Map' their own plan toward health and well-being, putting them at the centre of the organisational kaupapa.
