This workshop looks at the importance of providing tamariki with a thriving environment and creating connections to enable them to heal and thrive. This workshop is a great way to get to know and connect with other caregivers in the same area and an opportunity for participants to build a support network with each other.

East Coast Regional Coordinator Update
Lastly, and most importantly, we are super excited to share some great news with you. We have a lovely East Coast Regional Coordinator joining the Caring Families Aotearoa team.
We had wonderful candidates who were keen to work up and down the East Coast/Hawkes Bay region.
Dorothy Waitoa, currently working with Youth Horizons as their Practice Lead in Napier, was successful at gaining this position. Dorothy has been a caregiver and was a recipient of an Excellence in Foster Award earlier this year. She will be starting on Wednesday 11 November in Gisborne and is looking forward to meeting some of you, either at the training on Thursday 12 November (Creating Connections), or at the Caregiver Coffee and muffin get together on 13 November (keep your eye out for details on this event in your inbox). Hawkes Bay Caregivers: Dorothy will be presenting Creating Connections on Friday 27 November. After the training there will be a chance to connect with Dorothy over a coffee and muffin.
Mark those dates!
Dorothy will introduce herself more fully in our December Snippets.
Whakawhetai mo te Manaaki / Thanks for Caring,
Stephanie
