Glossary:
'Health is a state of complete physical,
mental and social wellbeing and not merely the
expiring
absence of disease or infirmity.' World Health Organisation Constitution. 1946.
Available online at (http://www.who.int/about/definition/en/). Health connotes
emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing, within the cultural context of the
person. In terms of te ao Māori, hauora is based on the cornerstones of taha tinana,
taha hinengaro, taha wairua, and taha whānau.
Tauiwi theory includes theory or models from any perspective other than Māori.

Assessment notes:
This is a theory unit standard designed to support other unit standards in youth work. It is
expected that the emphasis in assessment will be on knowledge of selected aspects
of human development for youth (birth to young adulthood). Aspects of other life
stages should receive consideration, but only insofar as they support competence in
understanding selected aspects of human development of youth.
