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

Hi everyone, I absolutely love my current job helping people get where they want and deserve to be in life. I would like this post to go to as many employers as possible. I cannot say who I work for as I may get into trouble but I know the power of social media and I believe it can do great things!… View moreHi everyone, I absolutely love my current job helping people get where they want and deserve to be in life. I would like this post to go to as many employers as possible. I cannot say who I work for as I may get into trouble but I know the power of social media and I believe it can do great things! So if there are any employers/business owners out there willing to give someone that has a form of mental illness 5 hours a week work- Just 5 hours :-) this is enough for both the person and the employer to feel a sense of worth despite little differences. It might just be cleaning, it might be customer service or it might be some data entry whatever you can offer it will do amazing things!! If you can give someone 2 or even better 5 hours of work - PM me !

Have just read a post from Caroline Welkin recalling her Grannie wrapped apples in newspaper and stored them in the dark to eat all year round.
This brought back several visions:
Pickled eggs in preserving jars!
Runner beans in brine!
Not to mention jar upon jar of preserves, jam etc.

Almost at next level now with dehydrated products.
Do you have a memory you would like to share?
We could all do with a laugh 👵
