Here's an interesting fact for your Friday...
New Zealand Police, and in particular 111, is increasingly contacted as the first port of call in a mental health crisis.
To make sure those who need help get it, in 2018 a dedicated helpline was established for those who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious and down. People can call or text ‘1737’ any time, day or night, to get FREE help from a trained mental health professional.
Please share so others in our community know about this life-saving helpline!
