🌏 A historic milestone for #PositivePsychotherapy in the Pacific!We are delighted to share the wonderful news that our colleague, Dr. Taralina Gae'e-Atefi has opened the first Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy Clinic in Samoa – the Ahmadhina Health Centre.This is not only the first Ministry of Health accredited private clinic of its kind in Samoa, but also the first clinic dedicated to Positive Psychotherapy (PPT after Peseschkian, since 1977) in the entire Pacific and Oceania region.In addition to its work as an independent clinic, Dr. Gae’e-Atefi and her team also provide pro-bono consultations at the psychiatric inpatient wards of the National Hospital of Samoa, contributing to greater access to mental health support in the country.With Samoa facing suicide rates that have remained above the global average for more than two decades, particularly among young people aged 15–24, this initiative represents an important step forward. Taralina’s work focuses especially on supporting families, parents, children, and young people, with special interests in childhood trauma, addictions, forensic psychology, and personality disorders.We warmly congratulate Dr. Gae’e-Atefi on this remarkable achievement and thank her for her dedication, courage, and commitment to bringing Positive and Transcultural Psychotherapy to new regions of the world.We wish her, her team, and the Ahmadhina Health Centre every success in the years ahead and look forward to witnessing the continued growth and development of Positive Psychotherapy throughout Samoa, the Pacific, and Oceania. 💙💚Congratulations, Dr. Gae’e-Atefi, on this inspiring new chapter! ...
