Mental Health Workshop for Parents and Caregivers
Dear Neighbours,
We want to invite you to the "Learning and Brain Function" workshop. Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist Dr Dennisa Davidson will discuss the different forms of learning such as sensory, emotional, behavioural and academic learning, linking it with the stages of brain development and current brain function.
Registration details are given in the attached pdf. This will also be presented via zoom. If you want to join via zoom, please email vishwavaninz@gmail.com for the link.
We don't want finances to be a barrier to anyone attending, so there are other options on the registration portal.
Please feel free to pass on the information to anyone you know who may be interested and who may benefit.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
