December 2023 Caregiver News: Auckland South Region

Talofa lava (hello) to our hearty caregivers in the Auckland South & Waikato regions.

Here we are at the end of another year! It has been such a privilege to connect with you all this year, to hear your stories, support you through your struggles, and celebrate with you during your wins.

Christmas time brings joy, happiness, and love to so many, but I also know that for caregiving whānau it can be equally challenging. You are all in my thoughts and prayers as you prepare to navigate the complexities that this time of year so often brings due to household and family dynamics.  So many of you deserve medals for the energy you spend keeping children safe and family members connected.
