Improving Mental Health and Addiction
Whakatōngia te aroha hai oranga mo te whānau,
Whakatōngia te kohara kia awe ai te iwi
Plant the seed of love so that the whānau will survive,
plant the seed of passion to give strength to iwi
Te Pāharakeke
The pāharakeke is synonymous to describing whānau within a metaphoric notion. Using the pāharakeke as the logo for the Midland Groups, depicts that the person is at the centre and supported by the whānau surrounding them, and with the lens of continuous safety, growth and development.
The use of the word whānau is deliberate as it describes the person in the singular and incorporates the identified whānau as a collective. By doing this it incorporates all people that are connected to the person and their individual or collective journey, therefore centering whānau as the smallest unit.
