From Guarded and Disengaged to Articulate Self-Advocate
A was left destitute after her mother's passing. Through Oonchiumpa she became forthcoming with her needs and actively seeks support.
A's mother passed away and she was left destitute living between multiple family homes with no involvement from her father. A had been on Operation Luna for an extended period of time. A was very guarded and lacked engagement.
Since working with Oonchiumpa A is very forthcoming with her needs and wants, often seeking out support and assistance when needed. Other services have noted the engagement of A and several other young people when with Oonchiumpa. In particular Oonchiumpa has been called to come into school to support A (and other young people) to engage.
