GUEST SPEAKERS
Miranda Warner: Re:act offers theatre programs are directed towards 'at-risk youth' and adults with experience of the criminal justice system through greater emotional literacy and empathy development. This work has the potential to add value to individual lives and to the community, and ultimately to reduce reoffending and criminal behaviour.
Lara Cusdin: Family Drug Support Aotearoa (FDS) is a New Zealand wide organisation set up to support family/whānau and friends impacted by the alcohol and other drug misuse. FDS support families/whānau so they can become a vital force for positive change and hope.
Katy Steele - The Community Change Coalition (3C) is a new initiative in Nelson. It aims to make sure that the community sector does not go back to business as usual, and that the sector receives the resources that it needs. Katy is the Manager at Neighbourhood Support Nelson.
