What a fantastic few days in Nelson.
We were encouraged by the incredible community turnout at our parent presentation hosted by Richmond New Life Church.
A huge thank you to the team for their hospitality and for helping bring people together for such an important topic.
One parent shared this feedback after the presentation:
"Just wanted to say your session last night in Nelson was super insightful. I'm really glad I got the chance to attend. Also, it was very eloquently delivered - you're an awesome speaker and very easy to listen to. Thanks so much for coming up to Nelson and thanks for doing this mahi - so important!"
Encouragement like this reminds us why these conversations are so important.
The following evening, we also had the privilege of speaking at Thrive Youth's combined Tasman-wide youth event. It was fantastic to see so many young people from across the region come together for a night of learning, connection, and encouragement.
Thank you to Richmond New Life Church, Thrive Youth and the wider Nelson-Tasman community for the warm welcome.
We're grateful for every opportunity to support parents, equip young people, and continue these important conversations across Aotearoa.
