Supporting our whānau to thrive
Our hauora services offer holistic wrap-around tautoko for a range of needs. We are committed to reducing barriers for whānau accessing support and advocate for equitable outcomes for whānau and systemic change. Whānau are the heart of our mahi, and we keep their mana and mana motuhake central to the kaupapa.

Te Ara Tuhono – ACC
We are kaupapa Māori providers for ACC in Central Otago ensuring our whānau understand their entitlements within ACC after an accident or injury. Our kaimahi are ACC trained and have direct access to internal ACC staff to ensure timely response and break barriers to whānau requesting support. As with all hauora services at Mana Tāhuna - this is a kaupapa Māori service, open to all residents within Central Otago.

Eke Panuku
Mana Tāhuna holds 2 Drop-In sessions a week. These sessions are for our social worker and kaimahi hauora to support whānau struggling with substance abuse, violence or mental health with brief interventions and technique. We take a holistic, whakapapa and tikanga-based approach to this mahi, recognising that substance issues never occur in isolation. We also provide tautoko and advocacy for other challenges whānau may be facing, such as connection to whānau, iwi or whenua; housing; mental health; financial hardship; relationships and employment. We work closely with the Department of Corrections and Ministry of Social Development to deliver this service, but also welcome referrals from the community.
