Kia ora koutou katoa,
I’m very happy to be introducing myself as your Canterbury Regional Coordinator for Caring Families Aotearoa. Ko Marney Holthouse taku ingoa (my name is Marney).
Previously, I worked in the care sector supporting and working alongside caregivers. In 2016 and 2017, I was fortunate to have been able to complete training with Kim Golding and later, Dan Hughes. In this training, I learned about PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy) and how this framework supports caregivers and tamariki (children). This significantly helped me understand the needs of care experienced tamariki and their caregivers.

In Christchurch on Saturday 20 November there will be a bowling party and in Timaru on the 21 November thereir will be a movie party. If you haven’t registered yet I recommend you come along! I have heard they is such a fun event.
Due to the ever-changing COVID-19 levels, the Family Fun Day events may have changed from what was orginally advertised. Please check your tickets or keep an eye on our website for changes to the Family Fun Day calendar.
I hope you are all taking care of yourselves and your loved ones, especially with COVID-19 continuing to impact our lives and plans.
Kia pai tōu marama / Have a good month
Marney
