This session was a glimpse into the work Aviva do supporting pasifika and users of harm.

Nicky Sofai, the Seuga (Pasifika) Service Development Manager at Aviva, will share information about the Seuga Programme for Pasifika people.

Understanding where these behaviours stemmed from encourages clients to look at things from a different perspective helping them to make the right choices living life in New Zealand.
