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.
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 you’re cultivating better mental health for yourself or in your community this month:

Do you sometimes drive a few kms over the speed limit? Road police have scrapped their speed buffer on Kiwi roads in favour of a no tolerance approach.
All motorists edging over the limit at any time of the year can now expect to be pulled over and possibly fined, national road policing manager Acting Superintendent Gini Welch confirmed on Friday.
It brings an end to a long-standing convention that law enforcement would let minor speeding breaches slide.
“We don’t have a threshold,” Welch told Stuff, “we don’t have anything other than the speed limit.
Previously, besides zero tolerance long weekends, it was understood police could exercise discretion up to 10kmh over the speed limit.

Pedestrians must give way to traffic - the central refuge is to help pedestrians safely cross busy roads.
If you are a pedestrian:
• Wait until the road is clear to cross
• The central refuge is a place to stop safely midway and assess when you can cross further
• Give way to cars and be alert.
If you are driving:
• Slow down and be aware
• Expect pedestrians at these crossings
• Stay alert, especially on Kenepuru Drive as it's a busy construction zone.

RAW THYME HONEY
• Powerful anti-oxidant properties.
The anti-oxidants in thyme honey are defensive. This means they bind damaging oxidants preventing them from developing into free radicals and causing cell damage. Thyme honey is one of the richest sources of these anti-oxidants.
• Probably New Zealand’s strongest flavoured honey.
A wonderful gourmet treat, a little goes a long way – delicious on french toast and crepes. Ideal for pairing with salty cheese or in savoury marinades. Try it as a glaze on your favourite lamb dish.
• Anti-inflammatory.
Effective at fighting inflammation all over the body due to the high concentration of thymol. If you have a sore throat, try the soothing comfort of a cup of Thyme Honey tea.
• Cough suppressant.
Great for nagging coughs, useful to keep on hand to use as a mucus suppressant.
• Healing properties.
Helps reduce swelling and inflammation on areas of the skin that have been damaged.
• Anti-allergenic
Contains a variety of anti-allergenic compounds that help prevent the release of histamines reducing the frequency and severity of allergic reactions.
• History of Thyme Honey
Originated in Greece and the countries around the Mediterranean and referenced in many classical texts. The herb thyme was brought to the Central Otago region in New Zealand by the Chinese gold-miners in the 1880’s and wild thyme now grows abundantly throughout the arid, rocky landscapes that border Alexandra.
