Kia ora koutou,

Oh crikey where has the year gone? Is it really only 8 weeks until Christmas? I promised myself last year that I would be better organised, but organised, I am not. One thing I don’t think I will do though is get stressed about it. Sometimes it feels like we must have whatever the advertisers are telling us we should have, to have a successful Christmas. Actually, what I want to do is have a relaxing day, enjoying the company of loved ones. I’m lucky enough to live near the beach and you know, a swim and a picnic at the beach sounds a lot kinder than the stress of hosting a lunch or dinner. Whatever your plans are, I hope you are able to be with those that love and support you.

Training

Our training schedule for the remainder of the year is available now through our website, or you can click on the link below. If you have never attended an online workshop and are worried about the technical side, you can call our national office, and we will run through the “how to Teams” with us. This will save you a lot of time and stress before the actual workshop.

Events

Registrations are open now for our annual Family Fun Days. Please click on the link below to register or find out more. If you see an event elsewhere and you will be in that region on that date, you can register to attend.  Tickets are limited so please be sure when registering that you will be attending.

Support

With all the changes happening around our country and the day-to-day difficulties we face in this most extraordinary role as a caregiver, it is easy to feel isolated and alone. We would like to offer you the opportunity to connect with each other and share your experiences with like-minded people. If you would like to be a coffee group liaison for Caring Families Aotearoa, please get in touch with us on 0800 693 323 and we can have a chat.
