Mental Health Awareness Week 2022

It’s time to speak up!

It’s Mental Health Awareness Week in New Zealand and we wanted to shine a light on how important it is to check in with yourself and stay connected with others.

As a rural community, it’s important to stay connected and find someone to talk to. If you or anyone you know is struggling, free call or text 1737 any time for support from a trained counsellor.
