HUMANS OF THE ISLANDS - Blackbutterfly Group
JANICE ELIA, TAPU & JOE FUIAVA
Mental Health Initiative; Blackbutterfly Group
Samoan
.
We are a group of Pasifika people from a Samoan and Tongan heritage. We were born and raised in New Zealand and migrated to Brisbane Australia. Tapu and Janice are sisters and both work in specialised community mental health services. Joe and Tapu are married, and Joe has been working with children in crisis for many years. We’re a close-knit family that enjoys working together towards a common goal.
Where did the idea for the Blackbutterfly initiative come from?
The idea of Blackbutterfly was born out of need. Amongst ourselves, we would often have deep discussions about the challenges we were experiencing personally but also what we saw happening to our family and friends. We basically got tired of talking and began asking ourselves what can we do about it?
Utilising the traditional process of a talanoa, it was obvious to us that this was the most suitable mechanism for our people.…more

PACIFIC FRONTLINE LENS: GP AIMS TO KEEP PACIFIC COVID19 INFECTIONS DOWN
Samoan GP Dr Maryann Heather has been working extremely long hours on the frontline during the Covid-19 crisis, tending to patients at the South Seas Clinic in Otara.
What motivates Dr Heather is knowing she is helping the Pasifika community during these troubling times. She also takes comfort that the Pasifika community has the lowest infection rate of Covid-19 in New Zealand. To date, less than five percent of those infected have been Pacific Peoples and Dr Heather wants to keep those numbers down.
“Our Pasifika community is one of the most vulnerable. If this virus hits our community and the numbers start to rise, then it would be extremely hard. Many families would be affected.”
At home, Dr Heather lives with nine family members, including her 80-year-old aunt and her young nieces and nephews. She takes extra care each day when she goes to work,-ensuring she is wearing all the protective gear and has minimal physical contact with her patients and other staff on the frontline.…more
