What an incredible day it has been at our International Pacific Leadership Exchange! 🌟

Today was the start of a week-long event, bringing together thought leaders in the fields of mental health, addiction and disability support from across Aotearoa and the US Pacific territories. 🌏

Today, we had the privilege of hosting three remarkable representatives from PBHCC, Reyna Saures (Vice President), Dr. Theresa Arriola (Director), and James Arriola (Executive Director). The PBHCC represents the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, Republic of Palau, Federated States of Micronesia, Republic of the Marshall Islands and American Samoa.

We'd like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to acting U.S. Consulate General Alexia Branch and Mara Hosoda Su’a (U.S Pacific Regional Engagement Specialist, U.S Consulate General Auckland) for joining us.

Organised in collaboration with Le Va, Global Leadership Exchange and Te Pou, the exchange welcomes visitors from the Pacific Behavioural Health Collaborating Council (PBHCC).

Throughout day one, discussions revolved around international collaboration, policy development, and implementation strategies to enhance mental health and addiction services globally.

It was inspiring to see leaders from different backgrounds come together to explore opportunities for future collaboration and advancement in these critical areas.

We'd also like to acknowledge other distinguished attendees including Markerita Poutasi (National Director Pacific Health, Te Whatu Ora), Charles Tutagalevao (Head of Operations Pacific & Hospital & Specialist Services, Te Whatu Ora), Savaiinaea Dr. Alfredo Adams (Senior Strategic Advisor - Pacific, Whaikaha), Dr Corina Grey (Acting CE, Ministry for Pacific Peoples), Referend Uesifili Unasa (Matua, Le Va), Josiah Tualamali’i (Board Co-Chair, Le Va), and Tagaloa Dr. Junior Ulu (Director Pacific Health, Public Health Agency, Manatū Hauora | Ministry of Health).

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an enriching meeting. Your presence made this event shine. 🌟
