'Left by the ACROSS Social Services building on Church Street at 1:35 yesterday afternoon (12/11/25)

Someone would have walked past and picked it up not stole it. I left it by mistake, No questions asked $500 cash to give back my pride and joy please

Bring it into the ACROSS building, they will call me, and I will pay you $500 into your bank on the spot or if you want the cash let us know please I beg you thank you!!'

5 Things You Didn’t Know About Counselling

1. Counselling isn't only for diagnosed mental illness
2. Counselors cannot prescribe medication
3. Counselors are not advice-givers
4. Most of the work happens outside of sessions
5. You might feel worse before you feel better

Our counselling team at ACROSS Te Kotahitanga o te Wairua is here to walk alongside you.

Please note that there is a 6 to 10 weeks wait for counselling

Our staff room has had a fresh new look! No more red and yellow. Now it's a calming Moon Mist green! 🌿 It’s amazing what a splash of paint can do to brighten up the space and lift everyone’s spirits.

A big thank you to Arianna and Bri from St Peter's College for volunteering their time, and to Shane and Jenny for helping make it happen. 🙌 It took just two days, and we’re loving the new vibe! 💫
