Coffee Cheese ‘n Crackers Support group
Hi neighbours,
Are you stressed out with Christmas just around the corner? Here at Coffee Cheese ‘n Crackers we aim to provide a safe and confidential place to have a chat with others who may be having a hard time too, or people who have been through it before. None of us are mental health professionals, we are just people with personal experience.
We are having our last meeting of the year this Friday at Linton Park Community Centre between 6pm and 7:30pm. Coffee, tea and nibbles provided!
Come for a chat, a vent, to meet people, to find support, or just for the feed! After all, in the spirit of the holidays we will be having a classic kiwi pav!
Hope to see some of you there!
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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.
