Executive summary
The current report stresses on the importance and well being of the health and development
within the youth community. In that regard two types of models have been discussed, the Te
Whare Tapa Whā and the Te Pae Mahutonga. The first model relies on the self assessment on
individualistic level while the second one encompasses the importance of leadership and
autonomy in well being. However, certain facts should not be overlooked that includes the goal
of the mentioned models. The primary aim of both the models is to ensure better health outcomes
among the Maori members. Alternatively, it should also be taken into consideration the prime

being within the Maori community. A study conducted by Thayer & Kuzawa (2015), stated that

recommendations are made for further improvement with justifications.
