This weekend, many young Kiwis across the country will be taking part in Crate Day. Connecting with friends, and making the time to catch up face-to-face, has huge benefits for your state of mind and personal wellbeing – but the Crate Day tradition of drinking to excess has its drawbacks. Are there healthier ways to build those connections? We think it’s a question worth asking.
Remember: if you’re worried that a friend or family member is starting to drink in ways that might not be healthy, our PIVOT service is a great place to start those conversations.

It’s International Day of Care and Support! As part of New Zealand Health Group’s purpose to achieve equitable wellbeing for everyone, every week thousands of our support workers offer care, companionship, and independence to tens of thousands of individuals across the motu. Without the patience and expertise of these hard-working health heroes, our mission would be impossible.
We are incredibly proud and grateful for the crucial role support workers play: not only in our organisation and for the people we support, but in the homes and lives of people in need all across Aotearoa.
