📡 DUMPED BEACONS ARE PUTTING LIVES AT RISK 💔

Once a week this year, a dumped beacon has triggered an unnecessary rescue response.

That’s because rescue teams take each beacon alert seriously, often deploying helicopters at $4,000 an hour, only to find the signal has come from a dump.

➡️ “It does take resources away from other people who might need it,” says Alex Taylor from Maritime NZ.

When resources are tied up chasing false alarms, it can delay urgent responses for those in real need, whether it’s someone tramping in the bush, fishing offshore, or facing a medical emergency.

IF YOU’RE REPLACING YOUR BEACON THIS SPRING 👇

1️⃣ Deregister your beacon:
Log in to your beacons.org.nz account to remove it, OR email contact.beacons@maritimenz.govt.nz with your beacon details.

2️⃣ Send your old beacon to RCCNZ for safe disposal:
Level 1, Avalon Studios
41 Percy Cameron Street
Lower Hutt 5011

Together, we can keep rescue teams free to respond when lives and health truly depend on it.

🧠 WORLD ALZHEIMER’S DAY 💜

Today is World Alzheimer’s Day, a time to raise awareness, share knowledge, and stand with those affected.

Did you know?

✨ Alzheimer’s and dementia are not the same thing
✨ Memory loss is not a normal part of ageing
✨ You can reduce your risk through healthy lifestyle choices
✨ Alzheimer’s can affect younger people, too

Many in our community have seen loved ones decline from this disease, and we know how devastating it can be. By raising awareness and supporting research, we honour those we have lost, support families living with it now, and bring hope to future generations.

Let’s keep the kōrero going and look after our brain health together.

🧠 MEN’S MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS 💙

Did you know that across 2023/24, over 176,000 men in Aotearoa accessed mental health and addiction services? Or that more than 10% of men reported high levels of psychological distress?

These numbers remind us that while many men report high life satisfaction, too many are still struggling in silence.

That’s why it’s so important to talk openly about men’s mental health and make sure support is easy to access.

👉 Swipe through the images below to see some key facts and protective factors that can help.
👉 If you or someone you know needs to talk, you can free call or text 1737 anytime to connect with a trained counsellor.

Together, we can build stronger, healthier futures for men and their whānau.

✈️ IS A PLANE THE KEY TO YOUR WELLBEING? 🌱

If you knew a plane wasn’t going where you needed to be, would you still board it, just because you had already paid for the ticket?

Of course not. But this isn’t really about planes.

It’s about life.

About the habits you keep even though they drain you. The stress you carry because you feel you have to. The routines you follow simply because you always have.

The truth is, sunk costs don’t protect your health. They only hold you back.

If you feel like you are stuck on the wrong “plane,” remember you are not alone. Discuss the next steps with your GP, nurse, or someone you trust who can support your health.

Your wellbeing matters. And so do you.

🔎 KNOW THE SIGNS OF PTSD 🧠

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can affect anyone who has been through a traumatic event, and it's more common than many people realise.

Symptoms may include:

✔️ Reliving the traumatic event
✔️ Avoiding reminders of the trauma
✔️ Negative thoughts about yourself or others
✔️ Feeling constantly on edge
✔️ Trouble sleeping or concentrating

The good news is, effective treatments are available. Therapy and, in some cases, medication can help people manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out for support. We're here to help.

And if you need support while we're closed, free helplines are available:

📞 Free call or text 1737 any time for support from a trained counsellor
📞 Lifeline: 0800 543 354 or text 4357

You don't have to go through this alone. 💙
