About
Taihoro Nukurangi is a two-day forum celebrating innovation across the Tuakana Teina Kaupapa Māori, Primary Mental Health and Addictions provider network. These providers work within the Access and Choice Contracts.
Taihoro Nukurangi fosters whakawhanaungatanga - connection, collaboration, and empowerment of the network.
The forum serves as a platform to showcase and celebrate the innovative mahi of the Kaupapa Māori providers within the Tuakana Teina Primary Mental Health and Addictions space (Access and Choice contract). Participants heard from inspirational speakers and participated in workshops that were aimed at informing services and solutions for whānau going forward.
