Mental Health in New Zealand
Mental Health in Wellington - well there isn't any! I have battled for months to get help for a person very close to me. NOBODY seems to be interested. I have contacted Te Haika (absolutely useless), Mental Health and Addiction Services (again, no help), Atareira Mental Health Support (again, no help). Finally rang the Police today and they took this person away. Have heard nothing. What are you supposed to do? Wait until someone is murdered. This system needs to change. If anyone has any suggestions or CAN HELP please let me know. A woman was murdered recently by her mentally ill son. There must be something someone can do expect ring the Police who really really don't understand mental illness.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
