Information include Samoan translation of clinical/medical terms by Samoan mental health professionals. Also, understanding of mental health from the Samoan worldview by Samoan experts of the culture. Tune in for general information about mental health and mental illness, ways to manage and looking after mental wellbeing, and where to find support when needed in New Zealand.

Fa'asinomaga & soifua ole mafaufau. Sense of belonging & Mental Wellbeing. Ioana and Priscilla
In this episode I reflected on my memories growing up in my family and village with my sister Priscilla. Why are these memories important to my sense of belonging and identity? I believe this episode will resonate with many born and raised Samoans, and I hope it will help us understand why environment, community, village and family are important to mental wellbeing.
Apology in advance for the background noise as this episode was recorded in Samoa.
Ole ma talanoaga ma Faumuina Priscilla e toe tomanatu ai i aso ua mavae i le olaga i totonu ole aiga, nu'u, ma le ekalesia. O le taua o le si'osi'omaga sa feola a'e ai ile soifua ole mafaufau ole tagata.
