Te Mauri o Te Tohu o Te Ora o Ngāti Awa
Te Pou Mataaho is our Model of Practice sometimes referred to as our Model of Care. It is central to what we do, how we implement services, how we behave as an organisation and why. Therefore, Te Pou Mataaho is all encompassing of our theoretical framework and incorporates how we practice and implement our Ngāti Awatanga on a daily basis.
