Community collaboration has led to an online resource to help people tackle mental health issues.
Social Services Waimakariri, Together Hurunui and the Waimakariri and Hurunui district councils have joined forces to create the nextsteps.org.nz website, which brings together information about North Canterbury’s social services.
Waimakariri District Council community development facilitator Rachel Thornton said the new online resource came out of the Covid-19
experience.
The website built on the Ministry for Social Development funded community connector service, known locally as the next steps facilitator service, she said.
‘‘After Covid there were a number of vulnerable people and the challenge we had was how do we get information out to them.’’
The website allowed people to help themselves to take the next steps to improve their mental wellbeing.
‘‘Those of us who work in the social service sector, we know who the counsellors are, but the general public doesn’t necessarily know, so how do we make it easy for them?’’
Social Services Waimakariri facilitator Nicki Carter said the website showcased all of the social service and community organisations serving the North Canterbury area.
It was designed to avoid duplication and to use resources more efficiently.
‘‘In the Waimakariri we are national leaders in this space, so it is definitely a concept which might get picked up elsewhere in the country.’’
Waimakariri mayor Dan Gordon said the new website was a great resource for the community.
‘‘While the initial shock of Covid-19 is gone we know this will not be the last event our country faces and it is important we learn from previous events.
"Having all this information in one place, with support specific to North Canterbury, is a fantastic resource and I applaud all our communities’ providers for working together to make this happen.
‘‘The information is non-threatening, accessible and provided in an empowering way that will connect with a lot of our residents when they need support.’’
The website posed questions to direct people to the help they needed and was entirely online and anonymous, Thornton said.
It begins by asking if you are in immediate danger (call 111) or just need to talk (call / text 1737).
The website has sections including physical, mental and emotional wellbeing, economic and business, and family and social.

Indigenous trees and birds feature permanently in a new look North Canterbury school.
Pupils at Leithfield School, south of Amberley, can’t wait to move into the new $2.5 million Kahika building in term two.
‘‘They’re very excited. You should have seen them pressing their faces against the glass when the fences came down,’’ principal Rob Cavanagh said.
Kahika, short for the native kahikatea tree, has been chosen as part of a cultural narrative from Te Rūnanga o Tūāhuriri.
Buildings at the school were named after trees and classes after birds.
‘‘As the kahikatea stands proud in our native forests, this will stand proud in our community,’’ Cavanagh said.
The new building provided space for up to 100 pupils, with four teaching spaces, break out rooms, a communal area, multi-purpose wet room and a balcony overlooking the school gardens.
‘‘It is fantastic. We will be able to grow into this space, so we will be well future proofed,’’ Cavanagh said.
‘‘It is just a wonderful resource.’’
He said it had been a long process, with one class utilising the school hall as a classroom for the last year and a term.
‘‘The hall is a great space for PE, assemblies and performing, but it is not so good for learning.’’
The communal space was big enough to hold full school assemblies, he said.
The school was experiencing steady growth with five teachers and was expected to pass 120 pupils by the end of this year.
The other classrooms were in the process of being refurbished to set the school up for the future.
Former principal Sharon Marsh returned to the school last week to see the completed project first hand.
‘‘I saw the plans and I came a couple of times when it was being built, but I saved coming inside until now," she said.
‘‘We put in so much time talking to principals and teachers to see what works and what doesn't work and gathering all that information,
so it is exciting to see it finally completed.’’
