Free contraception clinic in Maangere

The Team from Counties Manukau Health

Just letting you know whaanau that we now have a free contraception clinic in Maangere on a Thursday afternoon from 12.30 – 4.30pm. You can make an appointment (09 254 4260), but you can also drop-in on the day, no appointment necessary. Please let your whaanau of child-bearing age know about this great service.

And for those of us wahine of a certain – ahem – older age, things have changed in the world of contraception in recent years. We now have LARCs (long acting reversible contraception) like Jadelle implants and IUCDs, both fit and forget options that give you protection against pregnancy for 3-5 years. Once removed, your fertility returns.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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.
