We have adapted Te Whare Tapa Whā to consider what health would look like for a child or young person in the context of their whānau. Therefore, the policy is framed as:

• Whānau (family/connection): a safe pregnancy, setting a child up for life, and whanaungatanga.
• Hinengaro (mental and emotional wellbeing): safe in our homes and communities, trusting knowing help is there, and being seen and finding hope. 
• Tinana (physical health): a full belly, an easy confidence, and a caring workforce.
• Wairua (spiritual health): finding peace and meaning, living language and culture, and planning for end of life.
