ABOUT THE EVENT
Learn how to support our tamariki to deal with big emotions and anxiety across all ages and stages with author & wellness coach Rebekah Ballagh and local counsellor Sandy Hitchens.
Our seminar features Rebekah Ballagh who will speak for approximately 1 hour and then will have a short Q&A session. She will be talking about preschool/primary children right through to teens when talking about the states of the nervous system - this basically explains anger, anxiety, shut down/depression etc and will also apply to the parents themselves.
We will also hear from local New Brighton counsellor Sandy Hitchens about attachment and this relationship being at the heart of helping our kids. She’ll also speak about parents trusting their own intuition when it comes to parenting. Sandy will also have a short Q&A session and both speakers will mingle afterwards so that people can ask questions privately if they wish.
On the night we will also be drawing a raffle with vouchers that we have purchased from local businesses as a thank you for their support over the years. Tickets to the event will be $5 each and each ticket also represents one raffle ticket into the prize draw.
There will be hot and cold drinks to purchase and some nibbles. Please bring cash for these.
