Register for a free webinar series showcasing the four research projects undertaken as part of the Waka Hourua National Suicide Prevention Programme for Māori and Pacific communities in Aotearoa New Zealand.

To ensure national solutions with local leadership in Pasifika mental health and addiction, we always work with local Pacific leaders in our programmes.  It was our pleasure to deliver Le Va’s Engaging Pasifika Cultural Competency programme to 29 health professionals from six services in the Canterbury region recently with guests Norman and Peati Mene Vaele. 

Guest blogger Dr Gerhard Sundborn shares his tips on how we can reduce the amount of sugar sweetened beverages in Aotearoa in the lead up to a specific symposium to be held in Wellington on Tuesday 11th October. 

Saveatama Eroni Clarke gives his overview of the successful DRUA Fono and popular Cutting Edge conference held in Rotorua recently. 

Dr Elizabeth Mati gives us insight into the latest Pasifikology symposium held in Auckland recently with Le Va. The intentions of the symposium were to provide an intimate setting where Pasifikology members could talanoa.

The Le Va and Te Rau Matatini teams have joinned forces to deliver the Waka Hourua: National Suicide Prevention Programme for Māori and Pasifika Communities on behalf of the Ministry of Health, starting with a recent wananga.
