To mark World Suicide Prevention Day on 10 September, Le Va launched a digital resource called ‘B.R.A.V.E’, showcasing Pasifika young people making a plea for all to listen to what they have to say about suicide prevention.

Le Va launched its first official FLO Talanoa Facilitator Training in Havelock North, Hawke’s Bay last month. 

Collaboration is about working with others to achieve a common purpose. We are so proud to collaborate with groups where we have meaningful actions and productive outcomes for our Pasifika communities. This is what we call collaborACTION.

SPARX is a free computerised self-help program designed for young people aged 12 to 19 with mild to moderate depression. SPARX is unique as it incorporates a virtual fantasy setting with the use of graphics  to complete seven modules where young people learn Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) skills.

The annual Drua fono occurs every year as a preconference meeting to the sector-wide Cutting Edge Addictions Conference. Facilitated by Le Va and supported by Matua Raki, this year we met in Nelson to share updates from the network, as well as information and innovative solutions that are working in the addiction sector for our Pasifika families.

September 10 is World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD). This year the theme is ‘Preventing Suicide: Reaching Out and Saving lives’.  WSPD is an initiative of the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) and the World Health Organisation (WHO).
