“Te whakakōtahi tātou kia tū rangatira ai tātou katoa i ngā wā katoa”
Te Puna Oranga o Ōtaki are committed to looking after the ‘total wellbeing’ or ‘mauri ora’ makes all the difference.
It means that wellbeing is not only founded upon presenting individual health factors, but also includes an oranga or a holistic wellbeing approach. This includes but is not limited to:
- Te Whānau, family-centred wellbeing and self-management
- Te Kainga, improved living environments and capacity
- Te Hāpori, knowledge and access to appropriate community resources
- Te Taiao, participation in and advocacy for wider environmental impacts
As a community-led resource, Te Puna Oranga o Ōtaki understands its role and function to ensure this occurs across Ōtaki
- Facilitating inclusive, community leadership and direction
- Communicating with and being accountable to stakeholders
- Supporting aspirational wellbeing initiatives across Ōtaki
- Advocating for Ōtaki, to grow and develop its capacity towards self-determined autonomy
Like the many wellsprings that diverge from the source of the Ōtaki river, we know that it is the united strength and resilience found within the Ōtaki community that will bring positive change and propel us into the future.
