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.

The Sustainable Living Education Trust helps us with practical and fun ways to reduce our environmental impact, such as growing food at home. It's about simpler, less-wasteful lifestyles here in New Zealand.
It offers us future living skills for a healthier, lower-waste yet good quality lifestyle. It's a new approach to making smart, affordable and lower-carbon consumer choices.
Twelve local councils are current members of the Trust and receiving support from the Ministry for the Environment's Waste Minimisation Fund. Unfortunately our district council doesn't participate, but the Trust's eight learning guides are available online for everyone.
I also recommend taking their quiz. There are quite a few eye-opening and jaw-dropping facts hidden in there.
