Journey to Wellbeing | Huarahi Ora

Journey to Wellbeing | Huarahi Ora is a set of guiding principles, commissioned by Health New Zealand | Te Whatu Ora.

​

The guiding principles have been developed by reviewing international and national literature about self-management support for long-term conditions, interviews with community and providers across Aotearoa New Zealand, and a series of focus groups and feedback from people with lived experience of long-term conditions and disabilities.

The principles reflect a necessary paradigm shift and some terminology changes from ‘self-management support’ to a more whānau inclusive, culturally safe and co-designed name and concept. We used community-driven approaches and partnerships to transform the old name and approach into Journey to Wellbeing Huarahi Ora.​​​​​​
