New Crossings in Awatea Street & Kenepuru Drive
Do you know how to use these new crossings in Porirua?
Pedestrians must give way to traffic - the central refuge is to help pedestrians safely cross busy roads.
If you are a pedestrian:
• Wait until the road is clear to cross
• The central refuge is a place to stop safely midway and assess when you can cross further
• Give way to cars and be alert.
If you are driving:
• Slow down and be aware
• Expect pedestrians at these crossings
• Stay alert, especially on Kenepuru Drive as it's a busy construction zone.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.5% ... It is complicated
How therapy can support you
We want so much to be heard - by our friends, our partners, our bosses, our family.
We want to be truly listened to and heard.
Maybe you weren't really heard when you were young. The parents were busy - understandably. Siblings were distracting. Circumstances were busy.
Where did that leave you? In a not knowing place. Unsure. Uncertain about yourself.
Maybe you craved to be heard which might have equated to craving for love.
Maybe that lead to situations where you were vulnerable and made to do things you didn't really want to.
In therapy, I listen and you will be heard. Not so called "active listening" but real listening which is so much more than active listening. There might even be space in this for you to hear you. To get to know you, to acknowledge you, to have compassion for you.
