dc.description.abstractPacific youth in diaspora have faced many well-being challenges. This group has had to navigate the tensions between holding on to their Pacific values and participating in Western society, which at times can be contradictory. As this group comes of age in their host country, their well-being becomes ever more important. In this article, we explore the well-being journey of this cohort and their stories of resilience. We show how these groups have been able to use their Pacific culture(s) as a form of positive well-being. Through the sharing of Pacific youth experiences, by two Pacific researchers, we provide an insider’s perspective on how our youth have been able to positively navigate their respective host countries with a positive connection to their Pacific culture(s). As members of our communities, we highlight the importance of Pacific culture(s) among this cohort, in the hope that it will better inform government and non-government initiatives.
