The NZ Transport Agency is encouraging drivers heading away for Queen’s Birthday Weekend in the Auckland and Northland region to take care and be prepared for heavy traffic, delays and changeable weather.

Metservice is forecasting a change in the weather with showers and low temperatures in the region over the weekend, so it’s important that drivers stay alert, be patient and don’t rush.

NZTA predicts the heaviest time for traffic heading north out of Auckland on SH1 will be 1pm–6pm on Friday between Pūhoi and Wellsford. For traffic returning on Monday the busiest time will be 11am – 6pm.

For motorists heading south out of Auckland, it’s heaviest at Takanini on SH1 between 10:30am and 7:30pm on Friday. Coming back, the busiest time on Monday is 10:30am – 8pm.

If you want to create positive change and support innovative programmes like Housing First, alternatives to foster care, and the vibrant Merge Café, all you have to do is sleep rough for one night at Eden Park by joining the Lifewise Big Sleepout.

You can be part of the solution in a bold way, by stepping out of your comfort zone and embracing the realization that as Kiwis, we can all be just a couple of steps away from homelessness ourselves.

Stress sets up a cascade of physiological reactions in our body and minds. How we handle stress can put much wear and tear on our body and mind. This can play a major role in determining our level of wellbeing.

Stress management is about developing our ability to improve our immediate and long term responses to stress. We’ll be taking a holistic approach to developing a multifaceted and practical toolbox of ideas to combat stress.

Jane is a naturopath, medical herbalist, nutritionist and counsellor.

If you are interested in attending this workshop you can enrol and pay through our website or alternatively, email us back or call 376 3227 xtn 0.

We are looking for babies 6 months old and younger for the second year medical students for the HELD project (Human Early Life Development).

Pairs of medical students would arrange a suitable time to visit your home over an 18 month period. They need to do 7 visits over this time, each roughly 1.5 hours long during this time and will essentially be observing and asking a lot of questions to better understand child behaviour and development and completing a workbook. If you are interested please email us at heldstudy@auckland.ac.nz or see our attached brochure for more information.
