Healthy Relationships and Hauora

Read the short guide and scenarios, then answer each question. You may discuss general examples; you do not need to share personal experiences. If a scenario feels familiar or upsetting, you can speak privately with a trusted adult or school counsellor.

A four-part view of hauora

Hauora is a way to think about wellbeing as connected parts. Taha tinana is physical wellbeing; taha hinengaro is mental and emotional wellbeing; taha whānau is relationships and belonging; taha wairua is values, identity, purpose and connection. A change in one area can affect the others. Healthy relationships commonly include respect, consent, trust, honest communication, boundaries and room for each person to be themselves. Disagreement can happen; it matters whether people can handle it safely and respectfully.

TAHA TINANA Physical wellbeing Rest, safety, health

TAHA HINENGARO Mental and emotional wellbeing Thoughts, feelings, coping

TAHA WHĀNAU Social wellbeing Relationships, belonging, support

TAHA WAIRUA Spiritual wellbeing Values, identity, meaning, connection
