Taha Hinengaro refers to the mental and emotional well-being aspect of a person in the Maori worldview. It emphasizes the importance of thoughts, feelings, and mental health in overall wellness. This concept recognizes that mental health is interconnected with physical, spiritual, and social dimensions of life. In the Te Whare Tapa Whā model, which represents a holistic approach to health, Taha Hinengaro is one of the four pillars. The model illustrates that a balanced life requires attention to mental health alongside physical health, spiritual health, and family or social connections.
