E kore e taea e te whenu kotahi
Ki te raranga i te whāriki
Kia mohio tātou ki a tātou
Ma te mahi tahi o ngā whenu, ma te mahi tahi o ngā kairaranga, ka oti tēnei whāriki
About Te Whāriki o te Ara Oranga
Te Whāriki o te Ara Oranga is a new network for giving and receiving mātauranga - knowledge - and sharing great ideas to improve mental health and addiction services. It is a way for innovators, influencers and leaders to come together to hui, wānanga and innovate.
The objective is on-the-ground-transformation led by people who plan, manage and fund services, clinical and lived experience leaders and innovators and influencers of all kinds. Achieving equitable health outcomes for Māori is integral to this goal.
Whāriki enables:
- Exchange of ideas to spur transformation
- Relationship building
- Effective, innovative work to be widely shared
A safe place, Whāriki brings people together to improve services for tāngata whai ora and whānau. It is an opportunity for Aotearoa to lead the world in mental health and addiction services. Owned and driven by its members who share their successes and even failures, a small team supports the network.

Origins
He Ara Oranga called for a system focused on wellbeing that makes the most of existing talent and builds capability and relationships. Whāriki responds to this call – a dynamic, working network to share innovation and learning. It recognises systemic change cannot occur in isolation, and that the sector has an exciting opportunity to create real change.
The Ministry of Health has engaged Te Pou to develop and support Whāriki and is working with the Health Quality and Safety Commission on this programme.
