Fenoga Pule framework
Fenoga Pule is a competency framework that provides a map for professionals working in Pasifika Primary Mental Health and Addiction (PMHA).
It outlines the attitudes, knowledge and skills needed to work in Pasifika PMHA.
The objective of the Fenoga Pule framework is to grow the capability of the Pasifika PMHA workforce to deliver the best support possible and meet the needs of Pasifika people.
As a part of our journey, we need to self-reflect, acknowledge our strengths and explore new territory and opportunities for learning and growth.
The meaning behind the name
Fenoga Pule loosely translates to ‘master of the journey’ in vagahau Niue and is a name that aligns with the overall purpose of the framework and the voyaging metaphor used throughout.
It represents the dedication, commitment and skill required by Pasifika health professionals when supporting Pasifika and their families throughout their healing journey.
About Access & Choice
Access & Choice is a nationwide initiative that aims to provide free mental health and addiction support in Aotearoa.
It has a particular focus on supporting people with mild to moderate needs.

- validate Pasifika solutions that meet the needs of Pasifika communities
- develop and deliver relevant trainings for Pasifika Access & Choice services
- support existing and emerging workforces

Trauma-informed resources
Using a trauma-informed approach benefits everyone – people, whānau, communities, and the health workforce. It is crucial to understand that trauma can impact how people engage with and respond to support.
Four Aotearoa New Zealand workforce development centres play a crucial role in equipping kaimahi (health workers), leaders and services so that tāngata whai ora and whānau have positive experiences and outcomes when accessing all health services. All these centres provide resources for kaimahi to support a trauma-informed approach.
