Counselling for Children

Campbell from Hoon Hay

"Kids are resilient. They bounce back."
Actually no. Professionals don't say that any more (if they ever did). It is increasingly recognised that the traumas and hurts suffered by kids in their childhoods have dramatic effect on the course and well-being of their adult lives. Especially if those negative experiences go unattended by safe, caring adults.
Parental separation, sudden trauma and experiences of loss, death, abuse, bullying and neglect (just to name a few), can all be understood by a child as powerfully harmful messages about who they are and what the world they are being asked to live in is like.
So lets really work together to support and care for the little people around us.
And then there are the children who are anxious, angry or fearful for no apparent reason....

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
