The service:

• provides whānau with information that facilitates active participation in the treatment and discharge planning process (this may include facilitation of whānau hui to enhance understanding of proposed care and treatment options)

Te Waka Hauora Māori health service representatives will visit you on the ward to discuss what supports are available.

Te Waka Hauora Māori mental health services

Our Te Waka Hauora Māori mental health team are experienced clinicians who culturally assess and consider intervention pathways for Māori who are over the age of 18 years with severe psychiatric conditions.

Self-referrals can be made, or by healthcare providers, community agencies and family or friends with the client's permission.

Te Piki Oranga is the leading provider of Māori wellness services in Te Tauihu o Te Waka-a-Māui (Nelson/Tasman/Marlborough).

They work from health hubs in Wairau, Whakatū Nelson, and Motueka, and also bring services closer to home with mobile outreach clinics and home visits.

Te Piki Oranga also provides a range of kaupapa Māori mental health services, and alcohol and other drugs services.
