The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

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 don’t 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.

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 don’t 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.

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:

Hi neighbours,

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.

Hi there,
If you have a few minutes a week to support a Local Business, please do so. You can do any of the things on this docket or anything else you like to do to encourage interaction going in their direction.

#timetoshoutout
Thanks to all those who support others.
PS: Remember if you see a post on a Facebook business page and you want to give it some organic advertising, simply clicking on the heart or face emoji helps hugely. The thumbs-up is nice but gives no organic points for google to use to put that business front and centre when people are searching.
Happy Nearly Weekend Everyone!

My friends freezer broke down and she’s given me a bag of defrosted wild venison. We don’t like it. Would anyone like it?

The freezer died yesterday and it’s been in a chilly bin since, but has defrosted. It’s now going in my fridge, along with a couple of packets of mince. Also free.
