Luɔi - Our Approach
The Mät Approach targets the critical economic, social, and cultural factors essential for creating lasting solutions to complex disadvantage and vulnerability.
- Integrated Services:
- Learning and personal growth
- Social and public welfare
- Economic empowerment and stability
- Cultural and creative expression
- Community engagement and development
The Mät Approach is transforming:
- The methods of service delivery and governance, guided by Cultural Responsiveness, Trauma-informed Practice, Strength-Based Approaches and Community.
- The content of services provided (An integrated, culturally responsive platform focusing on five key areas); and
- The systemic structures that serve as the foundation for enabling meaningful change.
- The Mät model articulates seven pillars, all equally weighted:
- Cultural Identity & Pride
- Connection to Community
- Family-Centered Practice
- Mentorship & Role Modelling
- Safe, Place-Based Spaces
- Systems Navigation
- Healing-Centred
