Talofa!  I am blessed to have the opportunity to be able to help find a pathway for our Pacific families to have more awareness and understanding of the recovery process of their loved ones dealing with a mental Illness.

I am Samoan foremost and very proud of my culture which makes me who I am, born in NZ living both here and in Australia over the years. I am very excited to be able to work in a team dedicated to helping families. Life is full of stressors sometimes which can be made extra challenging when faced also with mental health issues and the feeling of not being accepted through the stigma and discrimination of mental illness.

I look forward the challenge ahead of seeing more Pacific families access our services.

PACIFIC ISLAND FAMILY SUPPORT GROUP

If you are a family member or carer of someone with a mental illness, you are not alone. Our support group offers a forum for support and encouragement for Pacific people who are on the same journey. Join us and others who face the same challenges to share, to learn and to grow in our understanding of mental illness. This group has been running at alternating venues between Central and South on a monthly basis.

Every 3rd Wednesday of the month from 10:30am - 12:00pm.
