Kia ora koutou 👋

If you know a young person in the Tararua who is carrying the weight of loss or change in their whānau, we have something for them.

Our Growing Through Grief programme now has after school groups running in your area — a safe, caring space where tamariki can feel less alone and find their way through.

Haere mai! 💛

We know that loss and change can feel really big — especially for our tamariki. That's why we're opening a new Seasons for Growth group in Central Hawke's Bay, just for children aged 6–12.

Over 8 Thursday afternoons starting 15 October 2026, young people will gather in a small, safe group to share their experiences, understand their feelings, and discover they're not alone. Whether it's a family separation, the loss of a loved one, or another change in their home life — this is a place to be heard.

Held at CHB Community Rooms. To register or find out more, reach out to Sally:

Mōrena! 💛

Grief can feel like something we carry alone — but it doesn't have to be that way.

Our **Exploring the Seasons of Grief** group is a warm, small-group programme for adults who want to understand their grief and find a way through it, alongside others who get it.

📅 **5 November 2026**
📍 **St Peters Hall, Waipawa**

Places are limited (4–7 participants), so if this feels like something you or someone you love might need, reach out to Sally — she'd love to hear from you.

We're holding a Grief Cafe on Friday 11 September at 10am, hosted at Tararua Community Services in Dannevirke.

This is a relaxed, informal gathering — a space to find connection and support with others in the community. This month, we'll be exploring how we can support the tamariki in our lives through grief and loss, which can come from so many of life's changes.

Everyone is welcome. Come as you are.

To find out more, reach out to Vicki at [email protected]— we'd love to see you there. 🤍

If you walk alongside people navigating change and loss, this one's for you.

Our Growing Through Grief professional development seminar is coming to Taradale Anglican Church on Monday 5th October. We'll explore what grief really means, how it shows up in behaviour, and how we can support people with empathy and practical care.

Whether you're a counsellor, social worker, community worker, or anyone who supports others through hard seasons — you're welcome here.

To register or find out more, email Kristen at [email protected]
