OUR VALUES
Te Tiriti o Waitangi and Arataki Ministries Values
Arataki Ministries is a person-centered organization that works within the guiding principles of Te Tīriti o Waitangi, Where Tino Rangatiratanga/Motuhaketanga (Self-Determination) underpins all work carried out by Arataki Ministries.
By centering Mana, we acknowledge and respect the inherent authority, dignity, and tino rangatiratanga (sovereignty) of iwi, hapū and all peoples.
This authority is nurtured through Manaakitanga, which demands that the relationship between Tangata Whenua (the people of the land) and Tangata Tiriti (the people of the Treaty including Tangata Whai Ora and their Whanau) is guided by deep care, mutual respect, and generosity.
These equitable outcomes are sustained by Whanaungatanga, the commitment to building and restoring meaningful, reciprocal connections that treat the Treaty as an enduring partnership of families rather than a mere historical contract, where connection with all people and Arataki is fundamental to effective outcomes.
At the heart of this partnership with Te Tiriti is Aroha, providing the empathy, compassion, and shared humanity needed to assist people to live well in the community of their choice.
Together, these practices culminate in Kotahitanga, a purposeful unity that brings diverse peoples together to row the same waka, collectively protecting the rights and prosperity of all, working together with a main purpose that is rooted in Motuhaketanga (self-Determination).
Arataki Ministries provides a range of services to people who experience some form of mental distress and perhaps an addiction and ‘people’ can be defined as the person receiving the service, their whānau, significant others, other community services and the community.
Arataki Ministries is a faith-based organisation, and most of the staff have a Christian faith. Arataki respect and value all people from different cultures and backgrounds, and those people guide us to meet their needs both culturally and spiritually. We acknowledge the Treaty of Waitangi / Te Tiriti of Waitangi as not only a historical document, but also a living one that guides the relationship between Māori and other peoples in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
The people at Arataki Ministries are committed to each other, committed to the work they do, and are committed to the people we serve.
