Rooted in Māori principles, this initiative brings together respected community members to listen, support reconciliation, and create personalized plans for making things right. Already proven successful since 2018 in the Tasman District — with over 350 referrals last year — it’s now expanding to youth and family harm cases. Open to all, regardless of background, Te Pae Oranga prioritizes understanding individual journeys and building stronger communities through restorative practices. The program officially launched today after quietly accepting referrals since July, with panels already held in Greymouth and Westport.
