Three weeks on and the positive vibes of #GPS2016 continue to ripple, reaching far wider than we had imagined. When we were asked to help organise the conference last year, we imagined a one-off event where we would attend, say, do and feel some amazing things,  then go back to our normal lives and continue as per usual. The amazing things did happen, but life hasn’t gone back to its normal self.

Highlights and reflections on #GPS2016 from Youth Action Komiti members. 

Youth Action Komiti member Trish Tupou presented in the suicide and violence prevention stream at #GPS2016.

At #GPS2016 the Safe Network Amanaki Pasifika service presentation focused on how evidence-based clinical practice was being incorporated with Pacific models and frameworks of practice to work with clients with harmful sexual behaviours. The work with the Talavou (youth) service was discussed using the themes of the GPS conference.
