World Elder Abuse Awareness Day in June!
15th June is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. It is estimated that approximately 10% of those aged 65+ experience some form of elder abuse (see our website for more information on prevalence etc.).
This year we are promoting connection as a way to prevent elder abuse! Connecting is something we can all do that would help to increase resilience against incidents of elder abuse in our communities and our whanau! Get together this June to celebrate WEAAD and connect over a cuppa.
We are also hosting a morning tea on Wednesday the 12th of June for you to pop in and get to know our social work team. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the issue of elder abuse faced by our community and how you can recognize when someone may be experiencing it. Drop in between 9:30am - 11:30am at Cambria Park Homestead, 250 Puhinui Road, Papatoetoe.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.

Dead cat
I saw a dead cat on Everglade Drive this morning near the crossing of Keri Anne place. It had been placed near the pavement. Black and white colour. Young. Did not look like it had been dead too long. If you know anyone who is looking for a cat, please inform.
