With less than 1 week to register to this closed door event with workbook included.
As the school gates reopen and the familiar rhythm of daily routines resumes, a crucial question lingers: Are our children truly equipped to navigate the emotional labyrinth that awaits them? Are you?
Picture this: Your child, overwhelmed and misunderstood, labeled as "badly behaved" when they're actually crying out for help. It's a scenario that breaks my heart, and I'm sure it resonates with you too.
That's why I'm reaching out with an urgent invitation to join our Trauma Informed Parenting Workshop on Monday, 21st October. This isn't just another parenting class—it's a transformative experience that will revolutionize how you understand and support your child's mental health.
Why is this workshop a game-changer?
🧠 Unlock the Secrets of the Nervous System: Discover how your child's behavior is deeply connected to their neurological responses.
🔍 Recognize Hidden Traumas: Learn to spot the subtle signs that your child might be struggling.
❤ Master Empathetic Parenting: Develop skills to create a nurturing environment where your child feels truly seen and heard.
🛠 Gain Practical Strategies: Walk away with tools to foster resilience and emotional well-being in your child.
The harsh reality is that mental health challenges are reaching epidemic proportions:
Depression affects over 264 million people worldwide.
Suicide claims a life every 40 seconds, with young people at particular risk.
Mental health issues cost the global economy $1 trillion annually in lost productivity.
But here's the empowering truth: You have the power to change this narrative for your child.
Imagine a world where your child thrives emotionally, where they feel understood and supported, where they have the resilience to face life's challenges head-on. This isn't just a dream—it's the reality we can create together.
Don't let another day pass by feeling helpless in the face of your child's struggles.
Reserve Your Spot Now

By attending this workshop, you're not just investing in your child's future—you're joining a movement to revolutionize mental health support for the next generation.
Let's move beyond talking about broken systems. Let's be the change our children desperately need.
Together, we can create a brighter, more emotionally intelligent future for our kids.
Will you join me in this crucial mission?

Maintaining independence as we age

Grace Joel Retirement Village

As we age, mobility and health issues can affect daily routines and independence. It’s natural to want to step in when a loved one faces challenges with tasks they once managed easily.

What you need to know:
- The wind watch is for between 8pm Monday 14 October and 9am Tuesday 15 October.
- At this time, the Harbour Bridge will be in 4 x 4 formation. This may remain for the Tuesday morning peak traffic.
- During this period be prepared for speed and lane restrictions.
- Motorists are urged to drive to the conditions and look out for the electronic message boards and traffic management which will indicate lane closures and reduced speeds, and stay within their lane while travelling across the bridge.
- If gusts exceed the wind thresholds there is a possibility of a temporary full closure on the bridge.
- Drivers of high sided vehicles and motorcyclists are advised to avoid the Auckland Harbour Bridge and use the western ring route on State Highways 16 and 18. We also recommend other motorists use the western ring route where possible.

NZTA will continue to work closely with Metservice to monitor conditions and ensure decisions are made based on up-to-date and accurate information on predicted and current wind speeds. You can keep up to date with traffic at the NZTA website.
