Did you know, 1 in 4 New Zealand adults will suffer from a mental disorder or distress at some point in their lives? When they do, let’s make sure they never have to go it alone. 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.

Don’t forget, this month also coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10th) followed by Mental Health Awareness Week (23 - 29 September) and Mental Health Awareness Day on October 10th.

However you choose to take part, feel free 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:

Health and safety act and lime scooters.

The act was introduced to make life safer for everyone - then these scooters were introduced. In every industry today strict controls have to be put in place to ensure nobody hurts themselves even when it seems obvious that they would have to do something really stupid to do so.
So then, how does this apply to the scooters and perhaps having controls in place to ensure under-age riders aren't using them and riding in the wrong places? [GPS control could shut them down when riding around the lake for example] Could someone be prosecuted when someone underage gets hurt or killed riding them?
I'm hoping someone who knows more about the Health and Safety act could shed some light on this.
