As a charity, we don’t receive any government funding and rely on the amazing generosity of our supporters to keep our essential mental health services running.
If you or your whānau are affected by serious illness or grief, talk to us to see how we can help.
We reflect on the outcomes of our latest fundraising campaign: the Winter Swim Challenge. While fundraising is crucial for an organisation like Kenzie's Gift, the sense of community a campaign like this creates is just as important, and has far-reaching benefits.
When a loved one dies, we’re in no man’s land. The person we expect to be in a certain place is not there, and nothing will bring them back. Brain fog, rage, confusion, memory problems, panic attacks, insomnia and unpredictable floods of feelings may all be along for the ride.
Finding the words to explain death and grief to our tamariki / children can be really hard. Well-written books provide us with useful ways of framing the concepts of death and grief, which can support you in your discussions with your taitamaiti / child.
