**Mō mātou | About Us**

Te Whariki Whakaruruhau is the Te Roopu Taurima (TRT) model of service that recognises the intrinsic value and relationship of tangata (people we support), their whanau and kaimahi (staff). As a kaupapa Maori service we strive to make a difference in the lives of tangata by surrounding them with a caring environment based on Maori values of respect and whanau. The service appeals to a wide range of people of different ethnicities because of TRT’s philosophy of accepting and valuing all cultural practices.
