Our staff are experienced mental health workers and many of them speak one or more Pacific languages, to meet the need of our consumers who prefer to speak in their Pacific language.
The Pacific biopsychosocial model, which is based on the Fonofale health belief model, informs our processes of service delivery and includes:
- assessment
- goal setting
- treatment planning - interventions
- supporting the implementation of the plan/interventions
- evaluation of the effectiveness of the interventions/treatment.
Additionally, we use culturally appropriate protocols, language and staff as this may improve understanding between the client, their families and our team about recovery and promoting comprehensive information.
