Sexual and Reproductive Health Program

Navig8

Delivered through Talavou Fale, Navig8 is a Pasifika-led sexual and reproductive health and youth development program that supports rangtahi to build knowledge, confidence, and practical skills to make informed decisions about their bodies, relationships, identity, and wellbeing. Grounded in the Fonofale Framework, the programme recognises that wellbeing is holistic and interconnected - shaped by family, culture, spirituality, environment, mental wellbeing, and physicall health.

Navig8 creates safe, culturally grounded spaces where young people can engage in open talanoa, strengthen their sense of belonging, and develop tools to navigate life with confidence. Sessions are interactive, strengths-based, and youth-centered, incorporating creative activities, movement, psychodrama, reflective discussions, role play, and collaborative learning approaches to ensure learning remains engaging and relevant for rangatahi.

NAVIG8

Navig8 represents the journey of young people as they learn to navigate the different spaces, pressures, and opportunities that shape their lives. Drawing inspiration from Pacific navigation across the Moana, the programme recognises the strength, wisdom, and resilience our communities have used for generations to find direction and purpose. Navig8 is inherently a sexual and reproductive health programme, supporting rangatahi to build knowledge, confidence, and skills to make informed decisions about their bodies, relationships, and wellbeing. At the same time, the programme takes a holistic approach grounded in the Fonofale Framework, recognising that sexual and reproductive health is connected to the wider foundations of wellbeing including family, culture, spirituality, mental and physical health, and the environments that young people move through. Through talanoa, youth-led discussions, and culturally grounded learning. Navig8 creates safe spaces where young people can explore identity, strengthen connections to culture and community, and develop the tools needed to navigate life's challenges with confidence.
