Essential Questions What does/can Recovery look like for very
diverse Fiji Communities and what are its practical systemic and social impediments
How can I as a foreigner come to understand the unique cultural and linguistic aspects of Fiji’s communities and work with cultural humility to help?
How can the Recovery Project most positively impact life for Fijian people where services are marginal at best and discrimination is pervasive?
![Page 11: Systems and Stigma Change through the Fiji Recovery ...€¦ · • Idioms data • Prioriized stigma change agenda • Cultural recovery-based idioms in 3 languages • Logic model](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081617/6045d37b9b7d565bd23b15cd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Essential Questions What kind of change strategies are most
viable and potentially effective in a developing nations?
How can we change both attitudes and practices from the perspective of psychosocial service program and professional training?
What positive cultural resources or idioms could be highlighted to foster recovery?

What NOT to do Helicopter Training and Research
Isolated trainings for advocates and carers
Initiate unsustainable change
Introduce foreign content that would quickly be forgotten
