Be in the draw to win a $100 MTA voucher! Do our FASD survey!

The Team from Counties Manukau Health

Today is FASD Awareness Day. Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) is the most preventable cause of intellectual disability in the developed world. It is estimated that up to 3,000 babies live with FASD in Aotearoa/New Zealand.

To help inform our work, we would like to hear from you about what you think would work to support women to have an alcohol free pregnancy. Please provide your thoughts on two quick questions in the link below.

Each entry goes in the draw to win a $100 MTA voucher. The survey closes on Friday, 25 September.

To prevent FASD, say no to alcohol if you are trying to get pregnant, are pregnant, or could be pregnant. Support your loved ones and friends to think about their drinking if they could be pregnant, or to have alcohol-free pregnancies.

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?

We want to know: Are you seeing signs of Auckland's economy improving in your industry or neighbourhood? Whether it's busier shops, new projects kicking off, or just a shift in the mood ...
