Mental Health + Well-Being - September 1st to 30th š§ šø
1 in 4 New Zealand adults will suffer from a mental disorder or distress at some point in their lives. When they do, letās make sure they donāt 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 use our voice to raise awareness for mental health and well-being. Perhaps consider sharing a cuppa with someone you know who could use the support or challenge your family and friends to unplug from social media for the entire month to improve their well-being. If you or someone you know is going through a rough patch, donāt forget you can call or text 1737 anytime for FREE support from a trained counsellor.
This month also coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10th) followed by Mental Health Awareness Week (21 - 27 September).
However you choose to take part, make sure to tag us in your posts + use the following hashtag so we can see how youāre cultivating better mental health for yourself or in your community this month:

Donāt Wash Your Hair In The Shower
Itās so good to finally get a āHealth Warningā that is useful.
It involves the shampoo when it runs down your body when you shower with itā¦ a warning to us all!ā
I donāt know why I didnāt figure this out sooner!
I use shampoo in the shower when I wash my hair.
The shampoo runs down my whole body and printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning: āFor Extra Body & Volumeā
No wonder I have been gaining weight!
Well I got rid of that shampoo.
I am going to start showering with Dawn dishwashing Soap instead.
The label reads: āDissolves Fatā that is otherwise difficult to remove.
Problem Solvedā
