Talofa lava to our Hearty Caregivers in the Auckland South & Waikato Regions.
Despite the cold and rainy winter weather, it’s been a learning curve, so to speak. I especially wanted to give gratitude to those caregivers who have reached out during their journey for support and engagement, and to those who’ve answered my phone calls and welcomed me into their space, even just to share their experience.
If you have school aged children/teens in your care you’ll be looking forward to the school holidays as term two ends. Will it be with excitement? Anxiety? What will it look like for you?
SUPPORT
Polynesian Caregivers Meeting
Christie (Auckland RC) and I will continue offering a space just for our Polynesian Caregiver members to catch up each month.
Our next meeting will be Thursday 20th July 10am-12pm at Clover Park Community House, 16A Israel Avenue, Clover Park (Tutukina Room). Doors open from 9:45am. Click here to RSVP.
Our closed Facebook groups are another way of connecting when you want to chat with someone but are unable to get away from the house. Please join the right group for you using the buttons below.
We are always interested in assisting Caregivers to connect and share together. If you feel you would like to start a support group in your area, please contact me to help you get a group up and running, cell: 027 244 7371 or email me – aucklandsouth@caringfamilies.org.nz

I look forward to gathering with our Regional Committee in the upcoming month to discuss future events in our regions; should you have any thoughts or suggestions please do not hesitate to reach out aucklandsouth@caringfamilies.org.nz, I would love to hear from you.
