This artefact is a graphic narrative built from real case notes and workshops with kaimahi from Te Puawaitanga ki Ōtautahi Trust. It follows the journey of Huia, a young mother navigating mental distress, showing how patient, consistent support allowed her to engage at a pace that felt safe and step into her own leadership.

The work shows what cultural concepts such as whanaungatanga and rangatiratanga look like in everyday practice, demonstrating how a Tamariki Ora service nurtures both individual hauora and whānau mana motuhake.
