Men’s Healing & Recovery Group

Te Whakatipu Tāne is a culturally grounded men’s healing programme facilitated by Ngāti Poona through H&P Wellness Therapy Ltd.

This programme provides a safe and supportive space for tāne seeking healing, growth, reconnection, and transformation. Grounded in lived experience, peer support, cultural understanding, and trauma-informed practice, Te Whakatipu Tāne supports men to reconnect with identity, strengthen wellbeing, and build healthier pathways forward.

Through guided group discussions, practical tools, somatic and body-based healing practices, and whakawhanaungatanga, participants are encouraged to explore their experiences in a respectful and empowering environment.

The programme incorporates:

• Peer support and connection

• Trauma-informed healing practices

• Emotional awareness and regulation

• Identity and self-worth development

• Somatic work and grounding practices

• Narrative therapy approaches

• Māori models of wellbeing including Te Whare Tapa Whā

Ngāti brings both professional expertise and lived experience into this kaupapa, creating a culturally safe environment where tāne can feel heard, supported, and understood.
