Hi, I'm Michael.

I started my journey with St John Ambulance way back in 1995 as a youth member. Since then, i have spent many years as a volunteer until becoming a career Paramedic. I have learnt so much over the years about caring for our communities, compassion and empathy for my fellow man.

Now I'm looking to give back to those less fortunate. I am planning a journey in 2019 to travel to Cambodia to volunteer in clinics in smaller villages.

This is a difficult topic but everyone needs to know about it. The book is not sad and depressing, it is filled with hope. It looks at the many causes of suicide from depression, bullying, addiction, loneliness, psychosis, brain injuries, sleep deprivation and failure. It has been written in a way that everyone can easily understand it. It has been carefully researched to include the latest scientific information about how mental illness affects the brain.

The book's website has free talks about suicide prevention, www.beingatruehero.com...

Here are some of the reviews,

"An easy to read and thoroughly worthwhile book."
- Dr. Sue Bagshaw, Senior of Paediatrics at the Christchurch School of Medicine

"A beacon of hope to the community... Michael's thorough research is narrated with insightful reflections from practical experience... Highly recommended to those in the Health & Teaching Professions."
- Dr. Susan Maree Taylor, Rural GP

"Michael writes about mental illness and suicide with compassion and hope. His book is useful for people who have personal experience, the people who love them, and professionals who work in the field. It is serious, at times funny, and references up to date research."
- Kay O'Connor, PhD, Counsellor

"I recently asked a friend I was concerned about if he was suicidal, it turned out he was - and needed help. Without the information in this book I never would have had the confidence to do that. The material in this book could save many lives."
- Thomas Saywell, Youth Worker

The book is available on Amazon and Kindle or through the book's website www.beingatruehero.com...

Coping strategies for earthquake-affected children

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

The way you parent has little effect on post-traumatic stress your children may be experiencing, research shows.

University of Canterbury researcher Dr Kathleen Liberty says parenting styles account for about 2 to 5 per cent of the variance in childhood post-traumatic stress disorder.

This knowledge should reassure parents who believe their children's trauma and anxiety arises from the stress the Canterbury earthquakes have placed on many families, and remind schools dealing with quake-affected children not to engage in "parent shaming", Liberty says.

In our own backyard, our youngest kids are going without the basics. Unlike schools, early childhood centres don’t have a nationwide support programme. Children under 5 are at the most crucial age for brain development.

But KidsCan is helping. Since October they've been delivering five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres, and kitting out kids with new raincoats and shoes. They want to extend the programme, so no one misses out on learning.

KidsCan, Neighbourly and Stuff have partnered up to raise enough money to feed and clothe 1000 more children under five. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz.
