Te Kete Pounamu is the inaugural national voice for Māori with lived and living experience of hauora hinengaro (mental health) and/or substance recovering (AOD).
Through our networks across the motu, we connect with whānau Māori, from grassroots communities and regional networks through to national governance. We are committed to ensuring the voices, experiences and aspirations of our whānau are heard, valued and reflected in the decisions that shape the health systems.
By championing lived experience leadership, strengthening connections and advocating for equity, we work towards a system that is responsive to the needs of Māori.


Working alongside our whānau and communities across the motu, we create opportunities for connection, learning and leadership. Through hui, educational resources, publications and leadership development opportunities, we support and strengthen Māori lived experience voices, empowering whānau to share their knowledge, influence change and contribute to the wellbeing of our communities.
Stay connected with our whānau across the motu by joining our mailing list. Keep up to date with the latest kaupapa, events and opportunities, and join us at one of our upcoming hui to connect, share your voice and be part of the kōrero.
