‘Grief and Kids’ & ‘Suicide Grief’ workshops

Kapiti Coast Funeral Home

Grief and kids: this workshop looks closely at the impact of grief across all ages from birth to teenagers and provides tangible suggestions on ways to support children and young people.

Suicide Grief: this workshop discusses the impact of suicide grief on individuals and provides tangible strategies to process and support others living with this significant reality.

Workshops Presenter Caroline Loo is the founder and director of the Loss and Grief centre Services for Southland. She established the service to support people experiencing loss and grief after her daughter died and she found it challenging to find support that understood the specific nature of significant grief.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
