mental health support work with whānau by an approving authority.
Words and phrases in te reo Māori include words that are used in the following
areas:
a
The Creation
b
Waka, iwi, rohe a takiwā

Traditionally, whānau members are related through whakapapa, birth, or
intermarriage, though the usage of this term varies from whānau to whānau. In the
context of this unit standard, whānau may comprise members who are related
through bloodlines and inter-marriage, and may also include family friends,
acquaintances, and any other individuals who are accepted by, and deemed a
member by a particular whānau.
