The ProCare team took the opportunity to engage with the community at Polyfest this year – while raising awareness of the broad range of services which ProCare provides.

There was a variety of information on offer covering self-management education, ProCare psychological services, Triple P parenting group programmes, Manakidz immunisation awareness, health, nutrition, and smoking cessation.

Highlights included the ProCare team meeting families, individuals and performing groups from a variety of cultures who visited the display.

ASB Polyfest is the largest Māori and Pacific Island festival in the world, showcasing culture, with more than 9,000 students from 64 schools who took part in the four-day festival.

The festival was a great way for ProCare to celebrate cultural identity, diversity and to share in local community spirit.
