Youth mental health services
Only one month into her job at CM Health, Angela Hann, Youth Consumer Advisor, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), has a clear view on what she wants to bring to the role and to the young people she works with.
“I want youth voices to be heard. I want the service to be shaped by the people it is made for. I want our youth community to have a better quality of life now and going into adulthood. I want to encourage our young people to access help for their mental health when they need it and also develop the skills to help themselves as well as others. Together, we can save lives,” says Angela.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
