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, donโt 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 youโre cultivating better mental health for yourself or in your community this month:

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.
โWe donโt have a threshold,โ Welch told Stuff, โwe donโt 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.

Gone are the days of sitting depressed in my flat, unable to function when all I could do was sit and eat, frozen with fear.
I am amazed how some days seem so light and easy. Then that energy disappears and the next moment or 24 hours seem dark and heavy. Iโm pleased to report that today was light and easy. Since earlier in the week, I put off writing an email, assessing paperwork, updating documents, finding suitable accommodation for a visiting friend and changing the bed linen! But today, I completed all those tasks with a sense of joy, lightness and ease. I paused throughout each activity and thanked whatever power there is in the universe for that energy and the ease of getting through the tasks effortlessly. The motto, โless effort, maximum benefitโ that I heard recently sounded in my heart.
This morning helped me realise the old adage, โthis too shall pass!โ and the complete practical sense of other slogans Iโve learned in the programme. Another example is, โdonโt take yourself too seriously!โ Iโm appreciating how everything ebbs and flows; oneโs energy, the moonlight, the tide on the beach rise and fall, like the sun.
Iโm in awe of how itโs possible for a hopeless addict, like me, to not eat addictively - even when some days I feel overwhelmed with chores, people and things, or a feeling of darkness surfaces (and it really is just a feeling). Thankfully, everything passes and, as I mature in sobriety, I really know with all my heart how to keep going.
Because it's shaping up to be a nice(ish) day, we thought we'd share another of Graham Stewart's excellent photos to ease us into the weekend.
Same question as last time - were are we?
This spot in the capital city has changed a wee bit since the photo was taken.
Feel free to share… View moreBecause it's shaping up to be a nice(ish) day, we thought we'd share another of Graham Stewart's excellent photos to ease us into the weekend.
