WHO WE ARE
Te Whāriki Takapou provides Māori sexual and reproductive health promotion services.Funded by the Ministry of Health and other agencies, our health promotion services are free. Our team is located around the country and we work together using internet-based technologies.
WHAT WE DO
We work with organisations in the health, education and research sectors to improve the sexual and reproductive health of rangatahi, whānau, and Maori communities. We do this by collaborating with organisations to: *build health-literate clinical and health promotion services and workforces;
*create evidence-based health promotion resources
*deliver teacher-led mātauranga Māori-based sexuality education programmes and resources;
*evaluate services and undertake research that matches Māori health priorities;
Some of our collaborative projects are showcased below.
