Expression of interest for a pilot workshop for teens in isolation
The Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga Eastern Manukau is seeking expressions of interest for a November "pilot" workshop for teens experiencing social anxiety, who are not currently attending school and are instead studying online at home. We are reaching out to concerned parents and family members who have teens at home dealing with this challenging limbo situation.
The focus of these community workshops, currently in development, is to prevent isolation, loneliness, and disconnection from peers by encouraging socializing, inclusion, and open communication, while also providing support and information to the parents. There will be a focus on mindfulness, self-care, holistic wellness, self-management, and goal setting, while also encouraging online studies. The initial pilot workshop to be held mid to late November is more of a relaxed, no-pressure, fun event to break the ice and also build the collectiveness of the teens interested in attending the future workshop series.
So, if you are a parent, family member, or guardian of a teenager in this situation and are interested in their teen attending the initial pilot workshop and or are interested in more information about these workshops please feel free to reach out and have a conversation with us.
For an expression of interest in the pilot workshop or for more information about this CAB project please contact Cat on media.pakuranga@cab.org.nz or message 0273953775.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
