The MASH Way

THE MASH WAY

At MASH, we work together to achieve great lives for the people we support and each other through championing the principles of Enabling Good Lives and Whānau Ora. This is the MASH way of working.

Our Philosophy 1.png

We believe in a holistic, person-centred approach.  The triangles in this image are symbolic to MASH, representing support and strength and our workforce is the thread that binds everything together. Whānau Ora and Enabling Good Lives principles underpin everything we do so that all our services are specialised to the needs and outcomes of the person and their whānau.
