Working parents - how will you cope if lockdown lasts till the school holidays?

Josephine Franks Reporter from Central Leader

Kia ora neighbours,
The government has poured cold water on the idea of the school holidays being moved, but we want to know what that means for parents. Many people have used up annual leave and sick days looking after the kids - how do you feel about the prospect of kids not going back to school… View more
Kia ora neighbours,
The government has poured cold water on the idea of the school holidays being moved, but we want to know what that means for parents. Many people have used up annual leave and sick days looking after the kids - how do you feel about the prospect of kids not going back to school until term 4, if restrictions last until October?

Did you know 1 in 4 New Zealand adults will suffer from a mental disorder or distress at some point in their lives? When they do, let’s make sure they don’t have to go it alone. To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.

For the month of September, we want to come together to share ways to boost mental health and well-being. For example, you could host an online catch up or quiz, call a neighbour who lives alone, challenge your family and friends to try a new hobby or move your body more to improve your own well-being. If you or someone you know is going through a rough patch, don’t forget you can call or text 1737 anytime for free support from a trained counsellor.

Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re looking out for your well-being and helping others with theirs this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz
