🎄 Celebrating Christmas as a team is important for our group. With offices in Brisbane, Mackay, and Cairns and services across the state of QLD including child safety, suicide prevention, school mentoring, research, consulting, and training, we are so privileged to love doing the work we do with the people we work alongside. 💛 Peers and colleagues can make a massive impact on our quality of life, so it's great in this season to celebrate and pay our respects to each other. We aim for excellence in getting our work done, help our peers with their workload, and prioritize having fun while doing it. 🎉 So on behalf of our team to yours, Merry Christmas! ✨ Vi'ia le Ali'i/Thank you Jesus. 🙏 #MerryChristmas #Teamwork #QueenslandServices #ChildSafety #SuicidePrevention #SchoolMentoring #ResearchAndTraining #CelebrateTogether #ThankYouJesus #HolidaySeason #WorkplaceJoy Peter Kaituu Kirsty Lenaghan Tahana Burgess Nicola Fa'avale PhD Grace Tava'e Addy Tavae Stacey Wright Jenna Manning Alana Stanford Andrew Fa'avale Ann Rachel Pablo Revs Nuqui Wendell Sarmiento Pemita Salesa

Haisini works in our residential care programs as well as a mentor in our schools. A former school captain himself, Haisini is continuing to use his transferrable leadership skills for the betterment of our young people. Haisini easily builds rapport with the students, and on the back of that relationship, guides and supports them with whatever needs they may have.    Giving back is the fuel that drives our community, economies and success. What a privilege to do what we do and what a blessing to have the likes of Haisini who are passionate about others. 🇹🇴   #MANAWISEMentoring #TuakanaTeina #LineOfSight #MentorWithHeart #ConquerTheFuture

Privileged to participate in the Brisbane Youth Detention Centre’s ‘Have Your Say’ Day aimed at supporting the staff looking after our young people in detention. Such an important role! Less than 1% of young people (10-17yo) interact with the Youth Justice system, but the rate of reoffending is high (around 90%), meaning a relatively small portion of our young people are committing most offences for the demographic. Over the past 11 years MANAWISE Group & MANA Pasifika have run programs in detention centres, schools, community, sports clubs and with families in order to provide evidence-based and culturally-tailored support to our vulnerable youth across the spectrum of prevention to detention. Just like residential care in child safety, most people would agree that detention centres are not where we want our young children. Prevention trumps detention every day of the week - however while these services exist, there is still a need to provide quality care for those precious young people engaged in these systems. Thanks Skye Leo and team at BYDC for inviting us to support your staff. 🛶✈️🚀 #YouthJustice #ChildSafety #Prevention>Detention Nicola Fa'avale PhD Grace Tava'e Peter Kaituu Andrew Fa'avale
