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 never 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, don’t forget you can call or text 1737 anytime for FREE support from a trained counsellor.

Don’t forget, this month also coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10th) followed by Mental Health Awareness Week (23 - 29 September) and Mental Health Awareness Day on October 10th.

However you choose to take part, feel free to tag us in your posts + use the following hashtag so we can see how you’re cultivating better mental health for yourself or in your community this month:

Hello, I'm Jamie & I have recently moved into this lovely area & I'm always keen for some extra work in the evenings & weekends (I also do day jobs on weekends)

I am early childhood teacher & was previously a bro-pair for two girls 4 & 6 I was an Au pair for 3 & a half years.

I have over 5 years’ experience working in a direct one to one and one to many environment with children across a range of ages, abilities and with a range of needs. This experience includes bathing, feeding and bedtime routines and management, designing and undertaking both educational and free play activities, and assisting with school work/ areas of developmental focus.

I have experience working with children with cognitive and psychological issues and am able to adapt my style as needed to best suit the child I am working with.

I have strong relationship skills and while I enjoy being part of a team, I am also comfortable working autonomously.

If you are interested i would love to chat more with you. I am more than happy to provide my cv, refrences & police check on request.

Yours sincerely,
Jamie.
