A free workshop is coming to Te Puke to support people experiencing weather-related anxiety following Cyclone Gabrielle and the Auckland Anniversary weekend flooding last year.
While severe weather can have a devastating impact on property and infrastructure, it also has a significant and ongoing impact on people’s mental health and wellbeing.
Blueprint for Learning’s new workshop, Weathering the Storm, is designed to help. The four-hour in-person workshop explores weather-related anxiety and the range of impacts extreme weather can have on individuals, whānau and communities.
The workshop helps those who have been personally impacted by extreme weather to build resilience, and also gives tools to people who are working in communities supporting others.
