About Kia Puwai We are a tangata Tiriti NGO which specialises in providing therapeutic services for tamariki, rangatahi and whnau who have complex behavioural and/or mental health needs. Our innovative approach combines Western evidence-based models with mtauranga Mori and Pasifika knowledge.

We work in a trauma informed way that acknowledges the impacts of colonisation for tangata whenua and indigenous peoples of Te Moana Nui a Kiwa, including how and why members of these communities may require our services. Our organisational tikanga: aroha, manaakitanga, whanaungatanga and wairuatanga help us to define what best practice is for working with tangata whenua in Aotearoa. As a tangata Tiriti organisation, we are committed to meeting our obligations to He Whakaputanga and Te Tiriti o Waitangi.

We strive to deliver equitable outcomes through the designing and delivery of effective and appropriate services for tangata whenua and Pasifika. We have over 250 staff and caregivers supporting tamariki, rangatahi and their whnau across Te Tai Tokerau, greater Tmaki, Waikato, Te Moana a Toi, Te Matau a Mui, and the lower areas of Te Ika o Mui and Te Wai Pounamu.
