Aroha Metcalf, our Chief Advisor Māori, was recently at an event announcing new kaupapa Māori services in the Lakes District Health Board area. You can read about the importance of the event below, with the launch of the waka symbolising the launch of the new service.
EaseUP, one of Emerge Aotearoa’s services, is working closely with teenagers experiencing challenges with their mental wellbeing and/or alcohol and other drug issues. Read about the different ways they provided information and support to Massey High School students. We want to keep expanding services for New Zealand’s rangitahi, and there’s a new Request for Proposal on the Government Electronic Tenders System for youth services in the Hawke’s Bay, Taranaki, Tairāwhiti, and Whanganui DHB areas.
Although the days are slowly getting lighter, we’re definitely still in the cold and miserable part of the year. As well as keeping healthy and avoiding winter illness, take some time to look after your mental wellbeing this month. The Mental Health Foundation has five ways to wellbeing, and I encourage you to include these actions in your day-to-day routine.
Ngā mihi,
Toni
