Whaioro Trust is a Ngāti Raukawa ki te tonga Iwi-established Kaupapa Māori Provider of Mental Health and Addiction services.


We are situated in both Palmerston North and Levin and cover the Horowhenua and Manawatū regions including Feilding through to Ōtaki.

Whaioro is a holistic and culturally grounded approach to improving whānau mental health and addressing addictions. Through sustained efforts in cultural revitalization, community empowerment, Rangahau, education, access, and equity, Whaioro Trust aims to create a future where Māori thrive in mental well-being and resilience.


We are part of an integral network of Iwi and Māori providers who work from Whānau Ora, whānau centered and strength-based approaches. All are part of the Te Waiora Collective, and Whaioro Trust is also a member of the Horowhenua Tū Tonu Mai alliance providing clinical respite.
