What is Hohou Rongo
Hohou Rongo is a kaupapa Māori-based 10–12-week programme designed to support whānau on their unique healing journey — a journey shaped by their own goals, values, and aspirations.
Grounded in restorative practice, this service acknowledges the impact of trauma, prioritises emotional and cultural safety, and restores connection through tikanga and mātauranga Māori.
At Te Hononga o Tāmaki me Hoturoa, we are committed to strengthening the resilience and wellbeing of whānau across Tāmaki Makaurau.
