Working at a community level means real conversations with real people. Work in partnership with Fijian youth groups (aged 18-30), women's groups and rural communities as you help facilitate the aims of leading Pacific mental health NGOs. Through your project you will assist in increasing awareness and understanding of mental health in the rural areas, whilst you live at the heart of a Fijian community and learn about traditional skills, culture and customs.
You will take part in activities and work alongside Fijians aged 18-35 enrolled in local youth groups. These sessions are active, fun and engaging and crucially open a cross-cultural discussion on an incredibly important and often misunderstood subjects, on behalf of Think Pacific's local partners.
