Who are we?

He Waka Tapu is a kaupapa Māori organisation located in Ōtautahi (Christchurch), Hakatere (Ashburton) and Wharekauri (Chatham Islands). We use tikanga Māori to help people identify what they really want out of life, working closely with our community, other service providers and government agencies to meet the needs of whānau.

Through collaborations with funders and stakeholders, He Waka Tapu provides personalized health consultations, community health initiatives, mental health crisis intervention, addiction support services, reintegration programs, family violence prevention, and educational offerings to promote holistic well-being in our communities. We also operate Te Aranga Health, a cost-effective General Practice, Tinana Community Gym, and various other community initiatives and partnerships.

The first step would be at looking at making a referral to find out what support we can offer, or to go along to one of our free open support groups in the community.
