Technology to make your home smarter and safer

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

Remembering to set the alarm before you left the house used to be about as complex as home security got. But now it's increasingly common to have a fully integrated system that links in with several other gadgets around the house, controlled via an app on your phone.

It's generally felt that most couples wait 7 years too long before seeking help with their relationship struggles!

Do you two need help now?

Communication, is nearly always at the heart of relationship difficulties. When we can't get past our unmet needs, defensiveness and old hurts it is very hard to trust and feel safe with our partner or spouse. A big part of my work with couples is to slow down both the speaking and listening to each other, in order to really get to grips with the core issues so that trust and safety may be repaired.

Just as we service our cars, so we can service our relationships by paying attention to the parts that are not working as well as we would like. It takes courage to turn up for couple counselling – nearly all of us prefer to keep the un-ideal parts of our lives for the privacy of our own homes. But it's like anything of value – we will only get out of it what we are prepared to put into it. So if you know your key relationship is not what you want it to be, give me a call or make an appointment and we can talk through how I can support you.

The Team from ACC New Zealand

It’s ‘April Falls’ this month, and we’re raising awareness of preventing falls. We want to help you stay on your feet and living the life you want to live.

It’s ‘April Falls’ this month, and we’re raising awareness of preventing falls. We want to help you stay on your feet and living the life you want to live.

As we age, the risk of having a fall increases. Those over the age of 65 have a 1 in 3 chance of having a fall and those over 80 it’s 1 in 2.

Having a fall can be devastating and can often result in a broken bone, which is painful and can take a long time to heal stopping us from doing the things we love.

The good news is that many falls are preventable. A new movement called Live Stronger for Longer aims to help reduce the risk of having a fall so we can live an independent and active life.

Having good strength and balance is key to staying on your feet. You can find approved community strength and balance classes in your area and practical information, advice, and resources on reducing the risk of falls.

Live Stronger for Longer and join the movement today.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, HQSC, MOH and your local community health providers.

~ Posting on behalf of CHCH SOUTH TOY LIBRARY ~

We are moving premises tomorrow (Saturday 7th April), and we wondered whether any of our wider community would be willing to offer manpower to assist us? We are moving from Spreydon School to Addington Raceway. We have a truck that needs to be loaded and unloaded at each end, and large shelves that need to be assembled.

Our small committee are meeting at 9am at Spreydon School. Please call Barbara Williman (0212379395) if you might be able to assist in any way! Thanks so much for considering it. We are a registered charity and appreciate any offers of help.

Note: there is one flight of steps at Addington Raceway that toys will need to be carried up.
