Mental Health + Well-Being - September 1st to 30th 😌
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 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 come together to share ways to boost mental health and well-being. For example, you could host an online catch up or quiz, call a neighbour who lives alone, challenge your family and friends to try a new hobby or move your body more to improve your own 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.
Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re looking out for your well-being and helping others with theirs this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz

Kids Pottery workshops with artist Madison Cowper
Swap the usual routine for something a little more colourful. Join us at Franklin Arts Centre for a fun morning of creativity. Come, meet new friends and make and paint your very own pottery!
Suitable for ages 4 and up. No experience needed, just bring yourself and your imagination. Wear something you don't mind getting dirty. We’ll provide all the materials, easy guidance, and an open-hearted, supportive teaching environment to encourage you to make whatever you like! Participants will be shown how to make a mug, a bowl, a planter or a pet, but they are more than welcome to bring their own ideas.
🖌 What’s Included:
🌸 Clay and professional guidance
🎨 A wide range of tools, paints and brushes
🎶 A fun, supportive atmosphere with music and good vibes
You can take your unfired piece home, or leave it with us to be professionally fired and glazed for an additional $20. The additional fee can be paid with cash in person. The finished piece can be collected from FAC 2 months after the event.
