Supportive relationships are good for our mental and physical health.
However, dealing with chronically "difficult" people and maintaining ongoing negative relationships can actually be detrimental to our health.
The toll of the stress can affect us emotionally and physically.
Because of this, it’s a good idea to diminish or eliminate relationships that are filled with conflict whenever possible.
But what do you do if the person in question is a family member, co-worker, or someone you otherwise can’t easily eliminate from your life?
To answer your questions, please join Nikki Zanchi, BED(Hons), DipCouns
on:
Friday 1 September from 2:00pm till 4:30pm
At the Haseler Hall, corner Selwyn street and The Glebe, Howick (underneath All Saints’ Church).
Fee: $40
Parking: The Glebe carpark
To book your place please email lindsay.upton@mecoss.org.nz by Thursday, 31 August 2017

Be a Charity Hero and get in free, plus perks or FUNdraise to your own target and still be a hero!
New Zealand Red Cross works in communities across Aotearoa and around the world to help improve the lives of vulnerable people. Whether it’s responding to disasters like the Kaikoura earthquakes and the Edgecumbe flooding, teaching life-saving skills to children, delivering a hot meal, supporting former refugees or providing a lift to hospital, our volunteers and members are doing good things in neighbourhoods around the country and overseas. By choosing to run for Team Red Cross, you will ensure we can be here for good to help the people who need it most.

When you commit to being a Charity Hero and running for Team Red Cross and raising funds you get:
• Free entry into your chosen race
• A really cool Red Cross Dri-Fit runners t-shirt
• Fundraising pack, full of tips and advice, plus professional one-on-one support from Red Cross staff
• Training guides for all levels
• Sports massage voucher when you reach $500 in donations
• Free transport (ferry or coach) to the race start location
• Personalised charity photograph, race bib and thank you certificate
• Entry to the Team Red Cross Facebook group
• Official Charity Runner medal when you’ve finished the race
• Post-race celebration at our Red Cross tent in Victoria Park, where you can relax, enjoy a meal and chill out with family and team mates
'Own Place Runner' option
If you don't think you can raise $1,000, no worries! You can still register to run for Red Cross as an 'own place runner'. Own place runners do not receive their registration for free and you can set your own fundraising target. However, you will still be part of the team, receive one-on-one support from Red Cross and get rewards for reaching milestone targets, like the dry fit T shirt attached when you reach $500!

To learn more about how easy it is to join, plus see photos from last year
