The Selwyn Way
Te Tikanga o Selwyn

As we work to achieve practical, measurable outcomes for the growing numbers of people who experience multiple disadvantage, we hold the older person at the centre of all we do, consistent with our guiding framework ‘The Selwyn Way’. We believe that a person’s wellbeing is defined by the following five domains:

Spirituality (Taha Wairua)

A dimension that brings meaning to life.

Growth (Te Haere Whakamua)

Continuing to learn and flourish as a person.

Contentment (Te Taanga Manawa)

A state of satisfaction with life.

Belonging (Whanaungatanga)

A sense of meaningful connection with others, being part of a community.

Resilience (Te Oranga)

Capacity to overcome adversity, stress or uncomfortable change in ourselves or our circumstances.

Wellbeing is impacted by a person's environment, physical and mental health status and the opportunities they have to engage in life.
