Kaituwhana
(PKA Whānau Ora)
Kaitūwhana at Te Ora Hou Ōtautahi is a holistic and empowering approach that places whānau at the heart of decision-making, guided by the "Whānau First" philosophy. This means whānau are empowered to set their own goals and navigate their unique journeys toward wellbeing, with support tailored to their collective needs rather than focusing solely on individuals.
At the core of Kaitūwhana is the belief that families know best what they need to thrive. The program encourages whānau to work together, identify their strengths and challenges, and create a shared vision for their future. This approach emphasizes the importance of culture, relationships, and community, ensuring that solutions are co-designed with whānau to meet their specific aspirations in areas such as health, education, housing, and overall wellbeing.
Through personalised support from Kaitūwhana, families are equipped with the tools, resources, and confidence to take control of their lives. This process builds resilience, self sufficiency, and lasting positive change that benefits both current and future generations. By focusing on the well-being of the entire family unit, Whānau Ora strengthens whānau, enabling them to thrive together.
