Evidence guides us, culture grounds us, and our lived and professional experiences working alongside Pacific peoples shape the way we deliver mental health education across communities 🌺

At Sema Wellbeing, we weave culture into every conversation — creating education that reflects our people, our values, and our ways of wellbeing. 💬🌴

Supporting Pacific Wellbeing in the Riverina 🇼🇸 🇦🇺

Our team had the privilege of facilitating Introduction to Mental Health sessions with Samoan PALM workers in Young and Cootamundra this month.

Through open talanoa, reflection, and laughter, we explored ways to recognise and care for our mental wellbeing while away from home. It’s been uplifting to be a part of initiatives that strengthens the community that supports our Samoan brothers and sisters through their PALM journey’s in Australia.

Thank you and fa’afetai tele lava to everyone who joined the conversation. Your voices and stories continue to shape how we support PALM workers across the regions. 🌺

🌊 It was a privilege to have been a part of The Oceania Pacific Health Association (OPHA) Conference on the Gold Coast last Friday to present on “Niu Waves: Labour Mobility, Seasonal Work, and Safety,” where our focus was on enhancing mental health support for PALM (Pacific Australia Labour Mobility) scheme workers.

Presented by our Senior Mental Health Clinician, Zachary Schuster, our session highlighted the critical need for comprehensive mental health resources culturally tailored to the unique experiences of PALM workers. Engaging with fellow Pacific leaders and practitioners allowed us to explore innovative strategies and share insights on how we can better support our PALM and Pacific communities.

Being amongst such excellence and collective knowledge reinforced our commitment to fostering a supportive environment for PALM workers, ensuring their wellbeing is prioritised as they navigate their work and life in Australia.
Vinaka Vakalevu and Fa’afetai tele lava to Dr. Kuinileti Chang Wai, Dr Eta Raicebe, Dr Matt Bray and the OPHA team for creating this platform for our Pacific people’s.

Together, we are making strides towards strengthening our communities and creating lasting positive change. Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to this important talanoa! 🐚 🌺
