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 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.

Currently Wellington, Upper Hutt, Lower Hutt and Porirua are under level one water restrictions. Wellington residents are now being urged to store an emergency water supply over the holiday period as the capital could face the possibility of severe water restrictions.

What you need to know:
- Sprinklers can only be used every second day at this stage in level one restrictions.
- Wremo recommends households have an emergency supply of at least 20L of water per person, per day for seven days (140L per person). Wellington residents can buy 200L water tanks from their local councils for a discounted rate.
- Wellington Water is preparing with emergency agencies for level four restrictions, which would ban all outdoor water use and reduce indoor water use by up to 50%.

Wellington Region Emergency Management Office (Wremo) regional manager Jeremy Holmes said storing water should be a priority over the Christmas and New Year period.
"You can store water by cleaning and re-using plastic bottles, using larger water containers from hardware stores or installing a 200 litre household emergency water tank available through your local council."
He understood finding space in apartments could be a challenge, so he encouraged people to get creative and take measures such as storing containers behind the couch, under beds or in the back of cupboards.
