Supporting children workshops
7, 14, and 21 May, 1-4pm, Totara Park Village
Children have faced daunting challenges in recent years; climate change, a global pandemic, and the constant noise of social media have all contributed to a sense of unease and uncertainty, and they are really feeling it right now. Shockingly, youth suicide rates in New Zealand are some of the highest in the OECD and eating disorders are also on the rise. At The Food Tree, they help prepare your child for whatever the future holds. Using evidence based, practical tools and a positive approach that is grounded in reality, they can empower children to navigate these challenges.
The Food Tree is excited to offer a series of workshops aimed at empowering parents and teachers to raise the next generation with confidence.
Workshops include:
Raising conscious and happy children
A practical guide to growing emotional intelligence and mental well-being for families.
Mealtime magic
Practical support to empower you to feed your family with ease.
The Body Image workshop
Empowering you to raise a body-confident child.
