Peer support after brain injury
After experiencing a traumatic brain injury it can be difficult for people to return home and to the activities that are important to them. It can be helpful to talk to someone else who has been there, who can understand, and provide support or guidance based on their experience with recovering from brain injury.
AUT are setting up a peer support system in Gisborne, connecting people who have experience recovering from brain injury with people who have had a more recent brain injury. People who have received this support in the past told us that talking to a peer helped them feel they were not alone, and gave them a sense of hope that life would get better.
If you or a whānau member have experienced a moderate-severe Traumatic Brain Injury in the last 6 years and are interested in taking part, please visit: cpcr.aut.ac.nz... or contact:

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
