The recent Stitch It Event at New Zealand Fashion

The recent Stitch It Event at New Zealand Fashion Week was a great success!

In collaboration with Fashion Revolution New Zealand, Dove Hospice & Wellness hosted its third Stitch It workshop for 2023. This event aims to empower participants with sewing and mending skills to extend the life of their clothing.

Attendees learned several essential stitch techniques to help repairing seams, sewing buttons and progress to patch holes and conceal stains.

By acquiring these invaluable techniques, not only does this give our clothing longevity, but if you decide to pay it forward to friends, family or your local charity shop (like Dove) it is in its best condition extending wear time and reducing the speed to landfill. Positive for our community and for the environment. 👏😊🌍

Additionally, $10 from each ticket sale was donated to Dove Hospice & Wellness.

Big thanks to Whitney Henton, our E-Comm Coordinator, who created the content for and led this workshop.

Stay tuned for our final event for the year coming up in November!

Yesterday was Psychotherapy day and to celebrate, one of our lovely staff members shared her experience as a psychotherapist at Dove House.

“September 25th. Psychotherapy Day.

A great day to think about and remember the gains made through psychotherapy. Wear turquoise to mark the day!

My own experience as a client speaks directly to why I trained and practice as a psychotherapist.

As a psychotherapy client I experienced respect, acceptance, being heard and being valued. I have been able to explore and move beyond things in my past that held me back. I learned about ways to regulate my emotions so I can make choices rather than just reacting to events. I have learned that compassion and love can be directed inward not only outward. I learned to believe in myself. I learned that even the toughest things in our lives bring learnings and opportunities.

As a psychotherapist I am honoured to be part of the journey of others, and I hope I am able to give back some of what I have learned and experienced.
At Dove, people come to us because they are facing enormous challenges. All of our teams are committed to providing the best support that we can for the people who come to our service.”
