When major change or loss occurs in families, parents’ concerns are often framed around important questions such as:

• How do I talk with my child about what’s happened?
• What kind of reaction might I expect from my child?
• What can I do to support my child?
• Does it matter if my child sees me upset?
• How will I know what my child wants or needs?
The Seasons for Growth Parent Programme has been developed to help answer some of these questions. It provides an opportunity for parents to better understand the experience of separation and divorce from a child's perspective. The program draws on evidence about what children experience and need to help them transition well through family change.
Facilitated by trained Seasons for Growth Companions, the distinctive child-centred approach provides emotional space and a non-judgmental environment for parents to share, discuss and learn ideas and strategies to support their children.
Seasons for Growth Parent Programme is a small group programme for 5-10 parents.
It will be held as a one-day workshop for parents/caregivers.
Date: Friday, June 9th
Venue: Warkworth
Time: 9 am – 4 pm
Cost: $20.00
Limited spaces. Registration is essential.
For more information and bookings please email: Heather Free

What you need to know:
- The product is called Large $20 Acacia Serving Tray and was sold nationally.
- The product may be infested with Lyctus africanus (also known as the African powderpost beetle), a species not present in New Zealand.
- Kmart are no longer selling these products and will wait for instruction from MPI before destroying these.
Anyone who finds a suspected exotic pest is encouraged to call MPI’s hotline on 0800 80 99 66.

They deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about their power bills, or their health.
They might be eligible for Warmer Kiwi Homes, a government grant offering 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.
And they may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.
Go to warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz to check their eligibility.
