a relati<strong>on</strong>ship that enables open and frank exchanges <strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> real issues, and to<br />
determine possible soluti<strong>on</strong>s. These could include:<br />
• assisting <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> mo<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r to gain employment that provides more adequately for <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
whānau and which enables her to be at home to support her children<br />
• rec<strong>on</strong>necting <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> mo<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r with her whānau so <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>y can help to support and care<br />
for <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> children<br />
• working with <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> 16-year-old to gain his licence, and support him to explain <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />
situati<strong>on</strong> to his employer so he can return to work<br />
• supporting <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> mo<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r and whānau to establish an effective relati<strong>on</strong>ship with<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> school<br />
• identifying <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> instigators <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> bullying and approach <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>ir whānau to work<br />
through <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> issues to enable <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> 12-year-old girl to return to school.<br />
The mo<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r being at home more regularly will mean that <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g> 8-year-old is better<br />
supervised and cared for.<br />
Ultimately this mo<str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>r is capable <str<strong>on</strong>g>of</str<strong>on</strong>g> leading change in her whānau. However, her<br />
ec<strong>on</strong>omic realities have prevented her from fulfilling this role. Whānau <str<strong>on</strong>g>Ora</str<strong>on</strong>g> would<br />
help her work through and resolve <str<strong>on</strong>g>the</str<strong>on</strong>g>se issues and enable her to focus <strong>on</strong> being a<br />
carer and protector.<br />
