Taha Whānau
Taha Whānau is a concept from Māori culture in New Zealand that emphasizes the importance of family and social connections. It is one of the dimensions of well-being in the Te Whare Tapa Whā model, which represents a holistic approach to health. Taha Whānau focuses on the relationships and support systems that individuals have with their family, friends, and community.
This aspect of well-being highlights the role of family in providing emotional support, identity, and a sense of belonging. Strong family ties contribute to overall health and resilience, making Taha Whānau essential for personal and communal well-being in Māori society.
