Kia ora ,

Winter is officially here – time to break out the hot water bottles and pumpkin soup (if you haven’t already).

Unfortunately, along with the cooler temperatures we have seen a number of severe weather events around the country. 

We are holding those who have been affected in our hearts, and we are here to support you through the aftermath. It’s natural during these times of uncertainty for feelings of stress and anxiety to rise, so remember to practice self-care, be kind to yourself, and reach out for support.

We have made a change to Snippets which means it is going to look a little bit different moving forward. Rest assured, you will still receive our Snippets newsletter in your inbox every month, however Regional Coordinator’s will only be contributing on a bi-monthly basis, and alternate months will contain national stories only.  

I hope you and your whānau keep well this month and you find a little bit of joy in each day to brighten those winter blues.

Noho ora mai (stay well),
Linda
