WAVES After Suicide Group
We are taking registrations for our next 8-week WAVES programme running from Monday 1 May to Monday 26 June 2023 from 5:30 to 7:30pm. The group supports adults bereaved by suicide in their understanding and management of grief and development of resilience. It offers the opportunity to meet and share with others who are also experiencing the impact of suicide.
WAVES supports members to:
• Process and manage thoughts and feelings around what has happened.
• Find meaning in their experiences.
• Discuss the nature of suicide.
• Gain information and strategies about how to care for themselves and others after a suicide, including children and young people.
• Adjust to living with loss and move forwards.
This programme is interactive and supportive and will be delivered in a friendly and safe way.
To register or to learn more contact our Suicide Bereavement Support Coordinator, Jeanette Jones, on 021 754 480 or jeanette@griefsupport.org.nz.

FARMERS PURCHASING
JUST A HEADS UP TO SHOPPERS. I HAVE SHOPPED AT FARMERS FOR YEARS. BUT DID NOT KNOW THAT ON THE DOCKET IS SAYS IF YOU RETURN AN ITEM THEY WILL NOT REFUND MONEY BUT GIVE YOU A GIFT VOUCHER. NONE OF THE STAFF HAVE EVER STATED THAT. I PURCHASED AN ITEM SATURDAY RETURNED IT SUNDAY AS FOUND I HAD ONE WHEN ARRIVING HOME. EXPECTING A REFUND, BUT NO APPARENTLY NOT. SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL WHEN PURCHASING AS I WILL IN THE FUTURE.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
