Mental Health in New Zealand
Mental Health in Wellington - well there isn't any! I have battled for months to get help for a person very close to me. NOBODY seems to be interested. I have contacted Te Haika (absolutely useless), Mental Health and Addiction Services (again, no help), Atareira Mental Health Support (again, no help). Finally rang the Police today and they took this person away. Have heard nothing. What are you supposed to do? Wait until someone is murdered. This system needs to change. If anyone has any suggestions or CAN HELP please let me know. A woman was murdered recently by her mentally ill son. There must be something someone can do expect ring the Police who really really don't understand mental illness.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
