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.
