Tēnā Koutou Katoa

In this issue, we share two inspirational stories from our rural teams; Sophie, a young mum was referred to our Family Start Programme in North Otago. She shares how she got through her pregnancy and those crucial early stages of her baby daughter’s development, despite mental health challenges and being isolated from whānau. And Michelle from Wanaka, a parent of two boys, talks about her experience and how our rural team in Central Otago, supported her to overcome her son’s anxiety and integrate him back into school by applying strategies she learned through the Circle of Security Parenting Programme.
