Depression Anxiety Recovery Program
Many of us will experience depression and/or anxiety at least once over our lifetime – the Depression Anxiety Recovery Program (DARP) will give you some tools to help add colour back into your life… though DARP is much more than just that; it will also help you to optimise your brain – so this is for everyone!
Come along to an Information Session at the Church Hall, 12 Alpha Street, Papakura:
* Monday 22 March at 1.00 pm or 6.30 pm
* Monday 29 March at 1.00 pm or 6.30 pm
The program will run for 8-weeks, starting on Monday 12 April and each session is two hours, with a video from Dr Neil Nedley, the program creator; and a one hour facilitated session by our DARP trained volunteers – there will be two different times to choose from… either 12.30 pm or 6.30 pm.
To attend our 8-week sessions, you need to register at one of the Information Sessions. There is a amazing special deal on the DARP program at the moment – instead of $200.00, we are giving you a 50% off deal… so for just $100.00 you can change your life!
For more information, email hello@papakurasda.org.nz or come along to one of the Information Sessions.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
