Male Survivors Aotearoa (‘MSA’) Working with Māori Policy (the ‘Policy’) provides a guideline for peer-workers (both employees and volunteers), including trustees working for the national organisation or MSA Member Organisations (‘MMO’s), who work with Māori (Iwi, Hapu and/or Whanau) to provide peer support services to Maori male survivors that may also involve their Whanau.

The overarching intention of the Policy is to reflect the founding document of Aotearoa New Zealand – Te Tiriti o Waitangi/ The Treaty of Waitangi (ToW), which is a living document that is acknowledged as a foundational policy that guides the work and activities of MSA and its MMO’s.
