New Police campaign encourages youth neighbourliness

Prevention Team from Wellington District Police

The harm reduction campaign, which is targeted at and co-designed with 18-25 year olds, has been developed by Massey University creative enterprise students in response to recent statistics.

Research from the Metro Neighbourhood Policing Team (CBD’s Community Police) indicates that young adults in Wellington are overrepresented in anti-social behaviour (criminal and non-criminal), and one third of 18-24 year olds drink alcohol to a level that carries a risk of harming the drinker’s physical or mental health, or having harmful social effects on the drinker or others. With the principle aim of encouraging young people to understand the consequences of their actions, the digital and print based campaign, Check Yourself uses common Kiwi slang to address problems before they escalate.

Acting Area Prevention Manager Inspector Clint Walker adds: "Police are working closely with Wellington City Council to reduce the incidents of alcohol harm as we strive towards everybody being safe and feeling safe".

The campaign will also use outdoor advertising, including large carnival mirrors, which will be installed throughout the entertainment district and at events such as O-Week and Jim Beam Homegrown festival. The mirrors will be used as part of a social competition, encouraging young people to share their pictures on Twitter and Instagram using #CheckYourselfNZ to win a range of exciting prizes, including tickets to Homegrown at Wellington Waterfront.

For more information on the campaign and videos please visit: www.checkyourself.co.nz

Take a look at this Treaty translation work. What impact do you think the book would have on non Maori and English speakers?

Eleanor Wenman Reporter from The Hutt News

It is unlikely to end the debate but a new book will at least make it easier for non Maori and English speakers to understand the Treaty of Waitangi. A group of 116 volunteers, under the umbrella of the New Zealand Society of Translators and Interpreters, have translated it into 30 languages.

“We’ve Decided to Separate – What Happens Now?“

Ann from Relationship Wellbeing Specialist

Making the decision to separate from a long term partner is rarely easy, but staying in a deeply unhappy relationship is no walk in the park either.

If you’ve been struggling with the decision, it can be difficult to know what to do and it’s even more complicated if children are involved.

Making the decision to separate from a long term partner is rarely easy, but staying in a deeply unhappy relationship is no walk in the park either.

If you’ve been struggling with the decision, it can be difficult to know what to do and it’s even more complicated if children are involved.

You have to juggle their needs as well as yours, and you know that even if you and your partner do separate, the children will always be your common bond. It’s not like you can just walk away and never see each other again.

While it isn’t easy dismantling a life, it is more manageable for everyone if you can control the process and part amicably. Separating calmly and consciously is easier on the kids and paves the way for a more harmonious future with your ex-partner.
Separation brings uncertainty

One of the scariest things about breaking up is the uncertainty. All those questions that you can’t answer… What’s going to happen? Where will I live? How will we manage the kids? What will we do about the house? How do we organize the transition? How much will it cost?

Hearing the horror stories about couples who hate each other, go to court and spend thousands in legal fees just makes it worse. It’s not what you want but sometimes you fear that’s how it might end.

It’s only natural to be anxious about the unknown; it’s the way we’re wired as human beings. BUT we can take steps to lessen the fear and the best way is to learn what we don’t know.
Going to court is not the only option

The first thing to understand is that going to Court is NOT the only choice when it comes to the practicalities of separation or property settlement. It is only one of the four options available to you.

Of the other three options, there is a way for you and your partner to organize a property settlement between yourselves that is amicable, legally binding and inexpensive.

It’s perfect for couples who want to dissolve their relationship without fighting and it’s perfect for parents who want to minimize the fallout of their separation.
