TALK: SELF-HARM, CUTTING & ADDICTION: A parent's Guide to Help

The Team from Devonport Community House

One of the most painful moments for a parent is the discovery that a child is at harm. But when they are harming themselves through cutting, destructive behaviours, or drug or alcohol addiction, it can feel like a shameful and isolating experience.

One of the most painful moments for a parent is the discovery that a child is at harm. But when they are harming themselves through cutting, destructive behaviours, or drug or alcohol addiction, it can feel like a shameful and isolating experience.
What has happened to my child?
Where can I go for help?

Who will help make sense of all that is going on?

In this unique one-hour presentation, offered by Teenage Toolbox, you will learn what lies underneath your child's behaviour, why self-harming behaviours are survival strategies, and what you can do to help your child through.
In addition, you will discover how to regulate your own emotions and feelings, so you can help your child from a position of empowerment, rather than helplessness or fear.

A twice-published author, and a trauma and suicide survivor, Sue O'Callaghan has worked with hundreds of cutters, self-harmers and teenagers in addiction. In addition, she often sees those whom the services have discharged with little success.
Her revolutionary compassionate approach will teach you skills and strategies to work WITH, not against, your child's maladaptive behaviours, in order to minimise guilt and shame, and empower you to understand what is going on for them.

ABOUT SUE
Not only has Sue lived in boarding schools in the UK, Singapore, and Australia as a resident housemistress, but she has also worked in maximum security prisons, where she learned some of the toughest survival skills that permanently changed lives.
Recognised for her trauma-informed school education programmes, parenting classes, and one-on-one work with children, teenagers, and twenties kids, Sue brings a level of knowledge, wisdom, and compassion to the audience that not only inspires, but is also infectious.
Come ready with questions, and problems, as Sue always loves an open discussion at the end, where real-life situations can be discussed!

This talk is the second in our FOUR-PART Mental Health Parenting Talk Series, equipping parents with powerful tools.
Don't miss out on the rest in the series, continuing past Mental Health Month.

The Kaipātiki Local Board has been hearing safety concerns from residents about this area for a while. There have been several crashes into private property, with a couple of vehicles hitting buildings or coming close to it.
The Local Board, in particular member Melanie Kenrick, have been asking for a solution here to improve safety.
Auckland Transport have investigated the situation and in November will be installing a number of flexi-posts to both increase the prominence of the intersection and narrow the road width which should slow vehicles down. This solution is the only one that can be prioritised at the moment due to tight budgets.

See the attached map for the new layout:
* Red dots: Flexi-poles
* Blue lines: New road markings
* Shaded areas: Bus movements

Here's another sneak peek - two new bridges at Hellyers Creek Reserve, Beach Haven!
The Hellyers Creek Reserve track goes around the coast from Shepherds Park to Beach Haven Rd. The Kaipātiki Local Board is upgrading the entire route, making it step-free. The first section that will be opened goes from Shepherds Park to Paragon Ave, and includes the two new bridges pictured.
Last week local board member Tim Spring and I were given a walkthrough by the contractors and it's going to be fabulous. A huge improvement over the steep, gnarly steps.
Some work has also started on the next section, which goes from Paragon Ave through to the end of Lancaster Rd and includes another bridge. The final section to be worked on will run from Lancaster Rd to Beach Haven Rd.

- Funded by the Kaipātiki Local Board.
