To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.
For the month of September, we want to use our voice to raise awareness for mental health and well-being. Perhaps consider sharing a cuppa with someone you know who could use the support or challenge your family and friends to unplug from social media for the entire month to improve their well-being. If you or someone you know is going through a rough patch, don’t forget you can call or text 1737 anytime for FREE support from a trained counsellor.
This month also coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10th) followed by Mental Health Awareness Week (21 - 27 September).
However you choose to take part, make sure to tag us in your posts + use the following hashtag so we can see how you’re cultivating better mental health for yourself or in your community this month:

The masks are something he could make that could help keep his community safer, he said.
Warburton is an experienced tailor – he’s been sewing for around 50 years. He sewed his daughters’ dresses when they were young, and when he moved to the retirement village, sewed cloth bags for other residents.
It takes him a day to make one mask: Slow and steady, he said, but it’s also because his eyesight isn’t as good as it was.
“I don’t make it for money, I do it because it’s a hobby. It’s looking at a finished product, how nice it looks and that feeling of satisfaction that I made it.”

Before his death in July, 75-year-old Glen Eden resident Kevin Jones used to take his dog, Tia, for a quick stroll around the block on his mobility scooter, sometimes up to four times a day.
However, Jones’ mood would spiral once they reached a patch of uneven pavement on Glengarry Rd, where half the footpath slopes onto an adjacent driveway.
Jones, who died suddenly at home in July, would have to slow down considerably, lean to one side and put his foot out to prevent his mobility scooter from tipping over. Despite this, he tipped and hurt himself multiple times.
Bruce Mackinnon, whose house the pavement is outside, said he was sad his “dear mate Kevin” had died without seeing the footpath fixed, as he had been really stressed about other people’s safety.
“Kevin may not be here now but I fully intend to get this unsafe footpath fixed for the sake of others."

The number of Auckland homes for sale in August was down 7 percent from the same period last year with just 7399 listings.
This echoed national trends where the housing supply decreased by 13.2 percent to 17,974 listings.
The average asking price nationwide has increased by 9.1 percent to $824,702 over this period.
However Auckland was at odds with this trend, with a slight decrease in asking price by 0.8 percent to $982,155.
Realestate.co.nz spokesperson Vanessa Taylor said the national housing shortage is not getting better and buyers have “less choice than ever”.
“New Zealand's fast-growing population coupled with an increase in the number of Kiwis returning home due to COVID-19 is likely increasing the demand for property,” she said.
"With many Kiwis unable or reluctant to relocate overseas right now, this too is likely putting a strain on the market.“
Are you concerned about the impact Covid-19 will have on the Auckland property market?

Do you sometimes drive a few kms over the speed limit? Road police have scrapped their speed buffer on Kiwi roads in favour of a no tolerance approach.
All motorists edging over the limit at any time of the year can now expect to be pulled over and possibly fined, national road policing manager Acting Superintendent Gini Welch confirmed on Friday.
It brings an end to a long-standing convention that law enforcement would let minor speeding breaches slide.
“We don’t have a threshold,” Welch told Stuff, “we don’t have anything other than the speed limit.
Previously, besides zero tolerance long weekends, it was understood police could exercise discretion up to 10kmh over the speed limit.
