Local support for rangatahi/youth
Social Services
As a tangata whenua-based organisation, we provide social services to whānau/families living in Te Tai Tokerau, Northland.
Kaupapa Māori
We use Kaupapa Māori approaches and work with Rongoa Māori practitioners to support whānau on their journey to wellbeing.
Whānau Ora
Māori identity and wellbeing thrives when whānau, hapū, iwi and our Māori communities lead healthy and prosperous lives.

Kaupapa Māori Community and Whānau Support Services
Ngāti Kahu is one of the six Muriwhenua iwi of the Far North of the North Island. Ngāti Kahu take their name from their founding ancestress Kahutianui-o-te-rangi, the daughter of Tūmoana, who captained the waka Tinana (later renamed Te Māmaru) which was one of the great voyaging canoes.
Established in the 1980s, Ngāti Kahu Social and Health Services promotes the health and wellbeing in communities through our commitment to kaupapa Māori principles. Our programs are culturally appropriate and collaborative with the local community.
Our services and programmes are specifically designed to bring the individual to a place of connection that will ground and give purpose to their lives. Our journey continues to evolve and shift towards our vision of ‘He Oranga Tangata’ – the wellbeing and health of all people.
Access to our Kaupapa Māori services may be from any source, including self-referral, or upon referral from primary and secondary health services, whanāu, carers and community members.
Mission. Vision. History.
