We're joined now on #PacificDays by Dr Siale Foliaki, Clinical Lead (Ngalu Fanifo), for week five of our talanoa series "Ngalu Fanifo - A new wave for mental wellbeing.

This week we are exploring the impact of recent announcements for parents, students and teachers on their mental health and ways to reassure and manage their anxiety during this period of rising cases and exam preparation, work pressures.

With extended alert level restrictions, exams, work pressures and the prospect of Christmas in lockdown – we will start to look at DEPRESSION. What this is and how it is different from stress and anxiety. What do we look out for in others and ourselves? 

For more information on the Ngalu Fanifo initiative please visit http://pasifikafutures.co.nz/ngalu-fanifo/

This site will direct you to the providers in different parts of the country. This interview will also be on PMN platforms.
