The Island Wave Podcast Community Health Worker Series Episode 5: Nisi La’a

On this episode we talk to Nisi La'a, a Community Health Worker with the Pacific Island Knowledge to Action Resources (PIK2AR). We learn about the ways they are supporting the community during the pandemic and the many programs that they offer. Nisi shares her journey as a Community Health Worker and how she stays motivated and inspired. We share resources we use for self-care and rejuvenation.

 

We talk about the need for more youth programming during the pandemic. With recent events in our Pacific Island Community, there is evidence that youth are turning to other forms of outlet that have been fatal. We begin to put our heads together as a community to create a Utah Youth Connection, Empowerment and Health Care Initiative.
