From our CEO
Kia ora koutou.
It is with enormous gratitude that I have made the hard decision to step
down from my full-time role with ANCAD.
I have been here now since May 2009 (12 years). It has been an amazing
time and I feel privileged to have worked with such great staff over this
period and with a fabulous supportive Board.
One of the most awesome parts of my time here has been the connection
and relationships I have built with many of you across the community
sector. My intention is to continue with those relationships where I can, in
other new, but smaller roles.
Meanwhile, to all of you that I have spent time with, laughed with and
connected with, in a multiple of ways, it has been my absolute pleasure.
I am excited about the next chapter and I am sure I will stay in touch with
many of you. Of course, I will continue to champion the community sector YVONNE POWLEY
and advocate where I can. CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Critical Incident Stress Management Awareness:
Group Crisis Intervention
2 Day Intensive Training
The CISM Group Crisis Intervention training programme presents the core elements of a
comprehensive, systematic and multi-component crisis intervention curriculum. This two-day
course prepares participants to understand a wide range of crisis intervention services
including:
• Pre- and post-incident crisis education
• Crisis intervention for individuals
• Small group defusing and debriefing
• Demobilization and crisis management briefings after small & large-scale
traumatic incidents
This establishes the theoretical basis behind Critical Incident Stress management as
well as the need for appropriate follow-up services and referrals. The course
highlights the difference between internationally- accepted protocols in the area of
post-incident support (and prepares individuals to provide these interventions) and
therapeutic intervention.

26COMMUNITY NOTICES
Resurgence Support Payment
A Resurgence Support Payment may be activated if the alert level increases from Level 1 for a week or
more. Businesses and organisations will be eligible if they experience a 30% drop in revenue over a 7 day
period after an alert level increase and meet other eligibility criteria. This drop is compared to a typical
7 day period in the 6 weeks before the increase in alert level. The decline in revenue must be a result
of the specific alert level change, not just COVID-19 in general. You must have been in business for at
least 6 months to be eligible. Charities, not-for-profit organisations, the self-employed and pre-revenue
businesses, such as start-ups, may also be eligible.
This payment is not a loan, so does not need to be repaid. The payment must be used to help cover business
expenses such as wages and fixed costs. Applications will remain open for 1 month after the return to Alert
Level 1. The current round of applications will close on 23 March 2021.
You can apply through myIR.
