Avenal Park Funeral Home supports local organisations who assist people suffering from grief. Able Invercargill is running the Waves Programme, commencing Wednesday 27 February 2019.

Waves is an 8-week programme that aims to support adults 18+ years old who have been bereaved by suicide. The programme combines learning about suicide and bereavement with group discussion and support. The group is facilitated by two trained facilitators and supports members to:
- Meet and share with others who are also experiencing the impact of suicide
- Provide a safe, supportive environment to explore aspects of their grief and reduce isolation and stigma associated with bereavement by suicide
- Gain information and strategies about how to care for themselves and others (including children and young people) after a suicide
- Adjust to living with loss and moving forward

Next scheduled programme in Invercargill:
Wednesday 27th February 2019 to Wednesday 17th April 2019, 7pm - 9pm

To register contact Able Invercargill
Phone: 03 218 2100
Email: adminsld@able.org.nz

Participants must commit to all 8 weeks of the programme. Transport may be available on request.

Grief is a unique and personal process. Nigel, Donna, Chris and Mel at Avenal Park Funeral Home are there if you need someone to talk to, or we can refer you to a local agency.

There's nothing worse than a soggy sammy. The trick to keeping kids interested in eating their lunch (and stopping yourself getting bored making it) is mixing it up with variations on a theme that you know they already love.

So instead of a plain ham and cheese sandwich on sliced bread, try folding slices of ham and cheese into wedges of crunchy baguette or a soft bap. Save time and stress by using Mainland’s convenient sliced cheese – available in Edam, Tasty, Colby and Swiss to suit your family’s taste.

Head to mainland.co.nz for some quick and easy cheesy ideas.
