He Oranga Ngākau research project aims to contribute to Māori models of health by exploring Kaupapa Māori Trauma Informed Care practice principles through conducting research that partners with Māori and Indigenous practitioners to inform the development of a framework that supports both Māori and non-Māori practitioners working with whānau experiencing trauma.

He Oranga Ngākau is a HRC funded project led by Dr Leonie Pihama.
