N2  - Whānau Ora (which can be translated as ‘family wellbeing’)[1] is an innovative approach to Indigenous health and social services policy in Aotearoa New Zealand. The initiative empowers whānau (family) as a whole and devolves to whānau members self-determining processes to improve their cultural, social and economic wellbeing. The initiative’s designers aimed for ‘the potential of whānau to do for themselves’ (Humpage 2017: 480) by minimising their dependence on state-delivered benefits and interventions. Building whānau resilience, and the skills and
resources of members to manage their own affairs without interference from others, is critical. Intrinsic to this approach is the concept of a ‘strengths’ perspective [2]. (Authors' introduction). Record #6265
