ABOUT ME

My name is Caroline. I live in the South Island with my family. In my professional life I work in a clinical health role, and for recreation I enjoy running, skiing, playing ice-hockey, mountain biking and reading a lot of books. 

​

I lived at Centrepoint in the mid 1980s when I was 7. While I lived there I was a foster child of a community family. For 30 years after I left I had no contact with anyone from Centrepoint. In 2015 I started re-connecting with former Centrepoint people in an attempt to make sense of, integrate and understand the experiences I had while living at there.

I do not have anyone in the community I am trying to protect, and I do not have any one I am trying to blame, hurt or shame. I am not on a witch hunt, nor am I trying to seek personal justice. While there are many factions and alliances between ex-Centrepoint people, I do not belong to any of them and am open to talking to any ex-Centrepoint member who is interested in talking about their experiences while living there.
