Let’s talk about mental health in your community

Andre Chivell from Waikato District Health Board

Kia ora neighbours, in 2018 we came to your community to listen and get an understanding of your experiences, views and expectations on helping those and their whānau who experience mental health and addiction challenges.

From your feedback and ideas we have the Me Kōrero Tātou report that outlines the key themes from all hui held in the Waikato health region.

When: Wednesday, 7 August 2019, 10am-midday
Where: South Waikato Sports and Events Centre, 25 Mossop Road, Tokoroa

We want the help of the South Waikato community so that we can work together as a community (you, DHB services, local health services, NGOs, other government agencies) to achieve health equity for Māori and health gain for all.

Come along, get involved and be part of the reshaping of mental health and addiction services in your community.

Raukawa and SWPIC are supporting the conversation with the DHB in this hui.

Please register your interest to attend by contacting Jennifer Ashman, 07 834 3623; Email:Jennifer.ashman@waikatodhb.health.nz

We look forward to meeting you. He whakarongo tātou – we’re here to listen

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
