Tahahinengaro - Mental and Emotional well-being • coherent thinking processes, acknowledging and expressing thoughts and feelings and responding constructively
Tahawhanau - Social well-being • family relationships, friendships, and other interpersonal relationships; feelings of belonging, compassion, and caring; and social support
Tahawairua - Spiritual well-being • the values and beliefs that determine the way people live, the search for meaning and purpose in life, personal identity and self-awareness (For some individuals and communities, spiritual well- being is linked to a particular religion; for others, it is not.)
