The current “harden up, stay staunch and let’s not talk about it” attitude is a problem. By changing this attitude, lives will be saved. Every dollar raised enables Mike to continue his vital work with communities across NZ.
The Appliance Shed is leading a fundraising campaign to support Mike King's Key To Life Trust. Read more about the long-standing relationship Appliance Shed has with Mike King here
The Key to Life Trust equips our nation's young people to check in on their mates and remind them it’s okay to ask for help. It’s important we all feel valued and know that someone has our backs when times are tough. Please donate and make a difference in your community.
Thank you for your support!

This followed an entirely avoidable fatality there a year earlier.
Then whenever i crossed over the railway tracks a few hundred metres further up the line - including only last week - it always occurred to me that similar safety measures should also be installed.
Why one and not the other despite the fact that the station crossing - which is of course not only for train passengers - is among the busiest pedestrian rail crossings in NZ and the one a little further up the road gets a trickle of usage. One of the complementary factors of both crossings is there usage by school pupils on a daily. basis.
So yesterday another person was killed. If I thought each time I walked across that crossing about why isn't it made safer with barriers and gates - why aren't the people who suppose to be looking out for us not promoting action and this goes for the Mayor and the councillors who live in the vicinity including David Wheeler. And it of course goes for the owners of the Wellington suburban railways who allow their staff to be subjected to these killings and accidents.

Online Sessions uses the same setup as any other video conferencing. You are in the privacy of your home, and you call using the zoom. All you need is a good internet connection, a working microphone and computer, and your chair.
With online couples counselling, there will, of course, be two chairs.
Can you do online couples counselling or coaching, if you and your partner are actually in different locations or even countries? Yes. Zoom, for example, can do ‘group’ video calls.
This can be useful if you are in a long-distance relationship, one of you are travelling, or you are in the midst of a separation but want to either have a constructive ending or see if you can salvage the relationship. The benefits of online Relationship Sessions.
There are many upsides to consider. These include:
1. You save money.
Time is money, and doing sessions from home means you don’t have to travel to and fro from your therapist’s office. And if you have children, assuming they are old enough to play quietly in an adjoining room, it can make a babysitter no longer necessary. This is also the case if you have an elderly parent at home who needs care.
2. You are more likely to both make the appointment.
In-person couples sessions represent two times more chances of something coming up to stop you making a session. Online therapy still works if the babysitter cancels, the car breaks down, the train is cancelled, or even if one of you is poorly. A cold or a bit of flu matters less if you don’t have to leave the house.
3. It means attending each session is not used as a weapon between you.
When a couple is in conflict, therapy sessions can become part of the bargaining. “You better not upset me today or I won’t go to the session tomorrow”. When the sessions are in your own home, these sorts of games lose their power. You are both at home, you might as well do the session.
4. If one partner travels for work, you can still attend the session.
Many therapists are fine with occasionally working with one partner on a third line (or always, if you live in different countries).
