Te Aratiatia ki te Hauora is a large mental health and well-being research programme, hosted and administered by Te Whare Wananga o Awanuiārangi, funded by Nōku te Ao. 

Its primary focus is conducting research that informs strategies to support the hauora, mental health,and well-being of our communities. Additionally, it aims to create tailored research platforms that address topical or emerging health issues, while also providing opportunities to promote the growth and development of both tauira and tangata whaiora.  

Given the broad scope and ambitious goals of Te Aratiatia ki te Hauora, our team of investigators is committed to ensuring that our resources and investments are strategically focused to support meaningful health gains and outcomes. We achieve this by leveraging our strategic relationships, fostering collaborations, securing external funding, and building capacity and capability. Additionally, we invest in a range of activities that align with our research philosophies and aspirations.  

Here, you will find examples and brief descriptions of several projects currently supported through the Te Aratiatia ki te Hauora research programme including any training and development updates. As these projects progress and are completed, we will provide updates, along with access to reports, resources, and other relevant information. Please check our site regularly for the latest updates, information, and details on upcoming activities and events.
