The Hook in4 Health Program goal is for communities in Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu to “Live Well, Learn Well, and Lead Well” through Hockey.

The target populations are:

• People with a disability

This is an integrated program which uses hockey as the platform to engage with participants to increase knowledge and skills to make informed choices about health and wellbeing while reducing barriers for play.
