CEA Charitable Trust and its Curtain Bank are on the move! CEA including its Curtain Bank have moved premises. CEA is now based at 16 Leslie Hills Dr in Riccarton (open now) while the Curtain Bank is housed separately at 55 Ferry Rd in the CBD, re-opening there later in January. What hasn’t changed are the services the charitable trust is providing. Free insulation for homeowners with a CSC and those living at an eligible address is still available, as are recycled curtains and free energy advice. Winter may seem a long time off and keep warm measures may not seem so urgent. However, CEA can get long waitlists in winter. Already they are making insulation appointments for March now! Homeowners without a CSC as well as landlords can also get insulation from CEA but at a cost. Surpluses from unsubsidised insulation assist the charitable side of the trust. So anyone buying unsubsidised insulation is not just keeping their own house warm but is supporting projects that keep those less fortunate warmer. Landlords need to be aware that new insulation standards apply for new and renewed rental contracts from 1 July this year. Where previously old (lower) insulation standards were acceptable, all rentals will soon need to be upgraded to the new standard. For more information contact CEA at info@cea.co.nz or phone 0800 GETWARM or visit www.cea.co.nz

UPCOMING WORKSHOPS:
Supporting Young People’s Positive Development and Wellbeing : A Resource Building Workshop Tuesday 16 February 9.30am—11.30am Wellbeing is often portrayed in media and policy as equating with Health, Wealth and Happiness. Yet, anyone who works with young people knows there is much more to being well, and it doesn't look the same from one young person to the next. In this workshop, we will share useful tools for supporting positive youth development in times of change and uncertainty, and what the psychology, economics, health sciences and education literature says about what it really means for young people to 'be well' today.
De escalation Thursday 25 February 9.30am —12.30pm One of the most difficult parts of working with young people is when they become angry or aggressive. Many professionals encounter this behaviour on a regular basis but they are not sure about the underlying causes of this behaviour and how to effectively address it without making the situation worse.
Sowing and Growing the Seeds of Compassion and Kindness Tuesday 9 March 9.30am—11.30am Research has found that compassion is a response that has ensured our survival. Putting compassion and kindness into action repeatedly with awareness, continues to ensure not only our basic biological survival, but it also optimises our physical and psychological wellbeing. How do compassion and kindness benefit us?
