Walk with me- Mental health fundraiser.
Hi all, my name is Jess and I am a Chch resident walking from my home in Papanui to the beehive in Wellington, with my two sons, to raise awareness of the mental health crisis NZ is currently in. I leave on October the 1st..10 days time!!
I am also raising money for STAND, a nationwide service trying to help as many struggling children as possible. As you may know there are too many kiwis (of all ages) struggling and not enough services, funding, resources, staff and time to meet the high demand so the money I raise will go directly towards psychologists seeing children faster to shorten their recovery time. I would love it if you could donate even a few dollars to this worth while cause. Here is a link to my give a little page where you can read more about what I am doing.

Thanks so much for your time.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
