About us

Te Hauora o Ngāti Rārua (THONR) is a people-first organisation that embodies the values of whakawhanaungatanga. Building and nurturing relationships are at the centre of everything we do. THONR is so much more than a service; we are a family and fully embody our tikanga (values), providing a safe and confidential space for any whānau to call home.

We welcome anyone to our kāinga (home) and invite all whānau - Māori and non-Māori - to visit us. We are proud to offer our community a home away from home. We work closely with our people and provide support every step of the way, even if whānau are referred to another trusted provider.

The Te Hauora o Ngāti Rārua has an open-door policy. We encourage people to come and connect with us and join us for a cup of tea or some kai.
‍
We are not just a service, we are a safe place for people to come and share their concerns. If we cant help we will support you to connect with a service who can help you.
‍
Ko mātou tēnei - it’s who we are.

Takiri mai ra te ata i te tonga. Ka whariki mai te manu kua ao kua awatea. He ngākau aroha e kitea i roto i nga to pito o te whare, Ngā uri whakatupu ki te maunga teitei. E rupu mai ana e ngā hua papai, He oranga mō te iwi Māori. - Nā te Kuia nā Keupe Stafford Fairest.
