Our Logo & T-Shirts

A participant in our first pilot drew up designs for a CPP T-shirt to help spread awareness and generate funding for the future programme.

In his words, the design represents manaakitanga (similar to compassion) and the pathway to inner freedom.

Tūwhitia te hopo is a Māori whakataukī or proverb.

It means to face/banish/embrace your fears and is all about opening to vulnerability to express your authentic self.

The participants in the pilot felt the Trauma Talks series resonated with this idea and one of them drew up the image to represent this whakataukī.
