Children, Wellbeing & Navigating Change Fundraiser
An evening with Samantha Patel CPsychol (she/her), Registered Psychologist, Chartered Member Institute Organisational Psychology.
As part of Gumboot Friday, we are partnering up with Samantha to bring this amazing talk about supporting children with change & uncertainty. This is certainly what the Pandemic has brought us in bucket loads.
Do any of these sound familiar?
How do I know if my child is behind at school?
What can I do to support my kid(s) not becoming overly worried?
Is it ‘normal’ for my child to ask these questions (insert any question you like)?
Just when I think I know how to deal with this – we have something else go on
Feeling exhausted
Experiencing sudden moments of feeling overwhelmed
Changes in appetite, diet and sleeping patterns
Supporting the wellbeing of children has no easy fix; it is an ongoing journey of connection and communication.
Join Samantha for this interactive face to face session where we will explore the impacts of change and uncertainty (such as Covid) on children and caregivers whilst drawing upon up to date theory and research in this area.
Areas covered will include: -
Why is this Pandemic so hard for us all, especially our children?
Habits and practices to support children to thrive
The crucial Covid lessons for children
Safeguarding children’s wellbeing

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
