FREE Women's Anxiety Management Workshop
Anxiety is a natural response to stressful situations, its purpose is to keep us safe from harm. There are, however, many situations when anxiety can be less than helpful. For example, when a stressor is ongoing: financial issues, relationship issues, social anxiety, phobia…
If we remain in an anxious state for long periods of time it can have all sorts of negative impacts on our lives. Many people find anxiety impacts their everyday functioning, but the good news is there are many effective strategies to reduce anxiety and increase wellbeing. This workshop aims to introduce a few strategies that you can easily incorporate into your life.
We will talk about anxiety and the brain, and how it effects our bodies. From there we can work through some strategies to reduce anxiety. Approaches will include:
- Self-care and compassion
- How to develop mindfulness and resilience
- ACT (Acceptance Commitment Theory) strategies and tools
- Rethinking pleasant activity scheduling

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!
