Kia ora everyone,
Wow, what a month we’ve had. Moving into another lockdown, some of us planning for vaccines, coming to grips with a new life of wearing masks and our vocabulary now includes QR codes and contact tracing, which two years ago, we wouldn’t ever have known would become our everyday life!
The staff at Caring Families Aotearoa are aiming to connect with as many Caregivers as we can during this time to check in with you all and see how you’re doing. Please don’t wait for a call if you need phone support (lockdown or not), call us on 0800 693 323.

Training
Unfortunately, we’ve had to postpone upcoming trainings due to the current COVID-19 lockdown. All face-to-face trainings have been cancelled for the remainder of this term and will commence next term when it is once again safe to meet. Our national office team will update you with training details as they come to hand. In the meantime, we have an online learning series called Ako Ngātahi – Learning Together. These are only an hour once a month and have day and evening options available. I recommend that you join in! The next one is on 21 September.
If you have any questions, require assistance registering or wish to register by phone please contact:
