Kaumātua
Te Whare Rongomauis a place of support and healing for whānau affected by violenceor abuse. Whether you’re experiencing harm or struggling with behaviours that may becausing harm, we’re here to help you move forward safely and with dignity
Our team of kaitiaki will awhi you to understand your needs and help connect you with the right support services. For kaumātua in the early to moderate stages of matewareware, our kaitiaki offer Haumanu Whakaohooho Whakaaro–Māori (Cognitive Stimulation Therapy). This programme is designed to strengthen memory, improve quality of life and help slow the progress of mate wareware.
We believe our koeke – our kuia, koroua and pakeke – hold the wairua and wisdom of our whānau, hapū and iwi. Supporting them means strengthening the whole of Te Arawa.
