It is our aim to help Pacific people embrace their future with confidence, self-esteem and knowledge. We recognise the importance of aiga and tutu fa'atasi so our service is aimed at strengthening and empowering them. We encourage families to use their own resources when challenging issues present. ‘Family unity’ is paramount when experiencing difficulties and our service can assist by providing information, options and practical support.
