Hauora comprises physical wellbeing as well as the physical body, its growth, development, and ability to move, and ways of caring for it; mental and emotional wellbeing, including coherent thinking processes, acknowledging and expressing thoughts and feelings, and responding constructively. Here’s how Southbase Hauora helps our people:
