Le Va has published new resources to address wellbeing when working with Pasifika families. This includes a learning on module on trauma-informed approaches and fact sheets on depression and anxiety.

Le Va's learning module Shifting from trauma-informed care to healing-centred engagement is designed to raise awareness about the effects of trauma and what a trauma-informed approach is. The module has a specific focus on a healing-centred approach when working with Pasifika people and families. Le Va says:

"Trauma-informed approaches focus on recognising and validating the trauma experiences of people and their potential to heal despite these experiences. Culture plays an integral role in how we respond to trauma, healing and support."

The module is a 9-minute video. This module complements Le Va's work with other national centres outlined in their booklet Weaving together knowledge for wellbeing: Trauma informed approaches (2019).
