Te Tāhū Hauora is committed to its enduring priorities of embedding and enacting Te Tiriti o Waitangi and pursuing health equity.
Initially Pacific models for engagement resources were developed for use internally within our organisation to help put Pacific methodologies, frameworks and epistemologies at the centre of our thinking when considering working with our Pacific communities.
We are now making them available for the sector to use, digest, consider and implement into their engagements and co-design with Pacific communities.
The resources represent ‘bread and butter’ models that can enhance your understanding and practice. They are intended to be used with a wayfarer to guide you through their application. Please get in touch with our equity team here to discuss and unpack these resources together.
