✴️ It's Mental Health Awareness week ✴️

It’s Mental Health Awareness Week and we’d love you to join us for a live wellbeing Q&A with Robyn Shearer, Deputy Director-General of Mental Health and Addiction and Dr Ashley Bloomfield, Director-General of Health On Tuesday 22nd September at 5.30pm.

When life is uncertain and you’re not sure where things are going, how do you remain resilient and look after your wellbeing? Robyn and Ashley will answer your questions about looking after your mental wellbeing and how you can remain resilient in the face of uncertainty during COVID-19.

Leave your questions in the comments and Robyn and Ashley will answer as many as they can.

Robyn and Ashley will answer questions on the common mental wellbeing issues that many of us are facing during the COVID-19 response. If you need to talk to someone about your individual mental wellbeing please free-call or text 1737 to talk to a trained counsellor.

Our friends at Sparklers have just created a wonderful new workbook in time for Mental Health Awareness Week, and Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori (the week before!)

‘Tuputupu’ is informed by Te Whare Tapa Whā, and highlights the many wellbeing benefits that can come from the simple act of planting, nurturing and sharing kumara.

Deep breath Aotearoa ... and especially those of you in Auckland.

After 102 days, New Zealand has four confirmed cases of coronavirus cases in South Auckland.

As of lunchtime tomorrow, Auckland will be in Level 3 for three days. That means you need to stay home to stop the spread unless you are getting essentials like groceries or are an essential workers.

Schools will only be open to the children of essential workers.

There will be no travelling to Auckland unless you already live there.

The rest of New Zealand will be moving to Level 2 which means no gatherings of more than 100 people.

Keep washing your hands, keep social distancing.

Are you All Right?

Though we’re all in this together, we’ve all experienced noho rahui/lockdown differently. It’s okay if you’re still feeling hesitant to get out and about, or if you’d rather stay in your bubble. We’re all adjusting at our own pace, and there’s no right or wrong way to feel about it all.

Let’s continue to be kind and look out for one another, and take note of those who might need a little extra aroha from us right now.
