Kia Ora Koutou Katoa
I am aware many of you will have completed this already but you may have new people who haven’t, I have had a conversation with facilitator Sarah Gribben (contact details below), as far as I am aware they haven’t run any of these up here post this event. It would be really good to get this out to the areas most affected as at the moment the course can be funded through the Red Cross funding as below. Groups can book directly with Sarah or using the form below, if there are individuals come back to me and we’ll see if we can get a group/room etc sorted.
Thank you for your enquiry about New Zealand Red Cross (NZRC) Psychosocial support/ courses. I hope the information below will provide you with the information you need.
NB: If the course is in areas affected by the Floods or Cyclone and is for people working with affected people or communities affected themselves then costs could be covered by the New Zealand Red Cross Disaster Fund.
