Questions
What do I receive?
One PDF with 2 printable pages, delivered by email straight after purchase.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes, for your own family or household. Please do not share, resell or post the file online.
Is this therapy?
No. It is an educational worksheet for reflection and conversation. It is not therapy, diagnosis or emergency help. If things feel too big, see a doctor or call Lifeline 13 11 14 (Australia) or 1737 (New Zealand), or 000 / 111 in an emergency.
Is it made for one Pacific culture?
No. It is inspired by values shared across many Pacific communities, and families differ. Adapt it to your own.
