Kōtuku Creative thrives on working collaboratively with organisations to create, produce and publish narrative-based resources for the mental health and education sector in book, web, digital and film formats. The resources utilise the Home and School Scaffolding approach, developed by Kōtuku Creative, to build on the established trust-based relationships already existing in children's lives.  With the support of innovative experts in the book design, translation, research and mental health and education sectors Sarina Dickson and Julie Burgess-Manning develop resources to support children to build resiliency by also supporting teachers and parents, keeping the child at the centre of the work. We value parents and teachers as experts in their children's lives and design resources that can be easily adapted to the needs and wants of individual classes and families.

Please contact us for any queries regarding producing resources for your organisation.

Kōtuku Creative designed and published The Worry Bug Project with the financial support of The Rata Foundation, The Christchurch Earthquake Appeal Trust and New Zealand Red Cross, and with the endorsement of the All Right campaign.  The opportunity to work collaboratively to deliver these resources with such forward thinking and innovative organisations has been such a pleasure and we're terrifically proud of the finished product and the positive reception it continues to receive. Over 50 000 copies are now in homes and schools in New Zealand and abroad.

Please contact us for any queries regarding producing resources for your organisation.  We can work with you to design and develop a resource to meet your client's needs.  We can assist in project management of publication, both here and offshore.
