Te Whare Tapa Whā is a Māori health model that represents well-being through a four-sided house metaphor. Each side symbolizes a different aspect of health: Taha Tinana (physical health), Taha Hinengaro (mental health), Taha Whānau (family health), and Taha Wairua (spiritual health). Together, these elements create a balanced and holistic approach to well-being. The model emphasizes that all four aspects are interconnected and essential for overall health. If one side is weak, the entire structure may become unstable, highlighting the importance of nurturing each area to achieve optimal well-being in life.
