Malo e lelei, Talofa lava, Taloha ni, Bula Vinaka, Fakalofa lahi atu, kia orana, Kia ora and a warm Pacific greetings.
Malologa Trust has gone through a huge change in the last eight months. The organisation has developed a joint venture with Pacific Information, Advocacy, Support Services (PIASS) Trust in forming a shared management company called "Vaka Tautua". The name for the new entity is a Samoan proverb which means "leadership through servant hood" and the logo is a Vaka (boat) undertaking a journey. This notion is very much appropriate as Malologa Trust is embarking in a new journey. Malologa will become the delivery arm for Vaka Tautua in providing Mental health Services.
It is the vision of this new development to provide a menu of services for Pacific people in; Youth, disabilities sector, Mental health sector, Older people and in Research and development. Through this vehicle, Pacific people can hopefully access services that they are entitling to, and our partnerships with SF will be strengthening through the referral process. Our Pacific families will access the support that SFMI staff will provide.
Vaka Tautua will be providing services on a regional basis, and I am pleased to announce that recently Vaka Tautua received a contract from Waitemata DHB. This contract is to provide Community Support Services to Pacific people suffering from mental illness within Waitakere. This development will provide opportunity to work more closely with SFMI field workers by possibly co-locating in the West.
