Josh Weir works as the school counsellor for Casebrook Intermediate School.
He is also a part of Gumboot Friday which grants anyone in New Zealand under the age of 25 to get two free counselling sessions (and can get more if they can't afford counselling and have no other funding).
With two sessions that are granted by Gumboot Friday, it can give students a good space for support through the long holidays if they felt like they needed that space for a chat.
If this is something you and your child is interested in or if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out; either by emailing Josh josh@inpeace.org.nz or go through to the Gumboot Friday website and go to the counselling page and search my name in the bottom search bar.
