Gambling harm prevention - wellbeing
Kia ora whanau. Day 4 of gambling harm awareness week and following up on yesterday's post, today our Wellington office have live streamed a discussion on gaming and gambling. (watch the recorded video here www.facebook.com... )
Today we are focusing on prevention of gambling harm (and other harms) through the five ways of wellbeing. The five ways of wellbeing are:
1 - Connect, me whakawhanaunga
2 - Give, tukua
3 - Take notice, me aro tonu
4 - Keep learning, me ako tonu
5 - Be active, me kori tonu
Local organisation, Allright, has more information on each of these here www.allright.org.nz...
Remember, these are ways to help increase and protect your wellbeing, not another thing to feel guilty about. Work on things one day at time and you'll be amazed what you can build over time. There are many options for more support if you or a loved one are struggling with mental distress, you do not have to wait until it's 'bad enough' or until you've tried everything yourself.

And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...
A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.
The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.
The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'
Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!
