Navigating the Puna

Academic Poster

Ella Creagh is a summer research student from the University of Otago who has been supporting the research team over the summer of 2022-23. She helped to thematically analyse the written and visual findings from the workshops with rangatahi and their whānau. This poster captures the research process in a visual way and includes the Navigating the Puna framework and the Health and Wellbeing for Rangatahi Living with Early Psychosis image, both of which can be found on our Creative page.
