Te Amorangi (The Māori Coalition) and Hāpai Ō

Te Amorangi (Māori Coalition) – a group of whānau Māori who raise or who have whānau with Te Iho Tātai-ā-Rongo. Hāpai Ō are also our whānau who support and work alongside mokopuna with Te Iho Tātai-ā -Rongo during many of our Haututū Wānanga throughout Aotearoa. We welcome all whānau who think tamariki in their care may have been affected by alcohol.

Te Iho Tātai-ā-Rongo is a disability that affects both the brain and the body. It affects people in many different ways, and can cause challenges in learning, memory, attention, health, motor skills and emotional regulation. There is no one presentation of FASD and different people are affected in different ways.
