E tuu nei, ko Te Kapehu i te Kainga, hei ara whakapiki oranga mo nga whanaunga, nga
whanau me nga kainga e huri tuara mai ana i te kai M**h. Taahuri rawatia ana ki te ara
matakite e mauri ora ana ano, e mauri tau ana ano te noho whakaahuru o te tangata,
whanau me te kainga. Te Kapehu i te Kainga serves to create a cultural healing pathway for those of us who wish
to withdraw from the destructive presence of methamphetamines in our kainga/home, and
to instead, rediscover our own potential towards healing, wellness, and the ability to
reclaim our authentic whanau, kainga and community life. Te Kapehu i te Kainga is a Pakanae marae, hapu based tikanga pathway towards wellbeing,
providing local cultural interventions and solutions that enable positive change to take
place. Te Kapehu is guided and supported by local whanaunga (Relations), people who have
expertise in different areas to assist individuals, whanau and kainga who have a strong
desire to implement change towards their own wellbeing. Our goal is to utilize, cultural interventions and healing to allow whanaunga (Relations)
people the opportunity to embark on a re-discovery and a re-claiming of whanau, kainga
(homes) community, and environment, without the destructive forces of addiction.

Te Kapehu also serves to create a collective marae, papa kainga, hapu and community
movement to reduce harm and violence. M**h is not welcome in our community. Haere, e
hoki e P ki te ara i haere mai ai koe, whakangaro atu ki too rua, ki too poka e kore ano e
whakaarahia. tuupapaku tonu atu ai!!! Maa te reo puu ano me nga ringaringa puu ano o te katoa i te kainga o te wahapu o
Hokianga, e haukotia te tupu me te whangai o tenei mate me oona kikino ki roto i nga waahi
katoa o te kainga. Maa tatou puu ano tatou e kawe, e arataki, e manaaki, e whakamaru me
te whakaora ake. Kawea te mauri ora ki te ao o te kainga, huri noa, p**a noa. It will only be by the voices and actions within our collective communities (hapu and local)
that will halt the spread and distribution of this socially debilitating drug within our region. For only we, as a community can create change, grow leadership, serve with compassion,
provide safety and wellbeing for all of our people. E oho, e ara, maaranga, e tuu ake, pikia te ara poutama ki te ora
Kia tuu ngatahi me te mahi ngatahi e taea e tatou te tuuraki te mate P nei
By standing and working together we will overcome the P epidemic
Nau mai, whakap**a i a koe, he toi tuu, he toi ora ki te ao tuuroa
He aro nui, he aro roa, he aro tiketike ki a koe e Io te wananga
Wananga a nuku, wananga a rangi, wananga puu taketake te mauri ora
Takitakina te ara, waahia te ara, whakapapa te ara ki a koe e Io Matua
He ara oranga ka p**a mo tenei pia, mo tenei tauira
Ki te whei ao, he ara ka p**a ki te ao maarama - Tihei waa Mauri Ora
