Videos about taha hinengaro – mental health

Key points about mental health videos for Māori

Mental or psychological health (taha hinengaro) is one of the cornerstones of Māori health.
Along with physical (taha tinana), spiritual (taha wairua) and social/family (taha whānau) health it is an integral part of hauora, the Māori view of health and wellbeing.
This page has a series of videos to learn more about approaches to Māori mental health and wellbeing.
