💙 MEN’S HEALTH WEEK: LOOK AFTER YOUR ENGINE ⚙️

Heart disease is the biggest killer in New Zealand, and accounts for around one-third of all deaths each year.

The most common type is coronary artery disease. It happens when the arteries that supply blood to your heart become hardened and narrowed.

Over time, this can lead to angina. But if a blockage happens suddenly or becomes severe, it can cause a heart attack or cardiac arrest.

This Men’s Health Week, we’re encouraging men to take a moment to think about their heart health.

✅ Do you know your blood pressure?
✅ Do you know your cholesterol?
✅ Are you due for a heart and diabetes check?

💬 SMALL WORDS, BIG BOOST 🤩

Compliments are pretty choice.

They can make someone’s day and help them feel seen. And the best part? Giving a compliment can give you a boost, too.

It’s one of the easiest ways to practise Give, one of the Five Ways to Wellbeing.

And to make it even easier, the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand has free compliment stickers available on their website.

Some of our favourites?

✨ Keep shining bright

❄️ HOW TO: GET WINTER READY 📝

Winter is here, and most of us are already feeling it.

Cold mornings, rainy days, more winter bugs going around, and the usual juggle of keeping ourselves and our whānau well.

Thankfully, a few small steps can help make the colder months a little easier:

🔥 CHECK YOUR HEATING
If you use a heat pump, an annual service can help it run more efficiently. If that’s not possible, give the filters a good clean.

🌧️ BE READY FOR RAIN
Keep an umbrella, raincoat, or spare warm layer in your bag or car so you’re not caught out.

🏡 KEEP YOUR HOME WARM
Close curtains before it gets dark, block cold draughts where you can, and keep doors closed to warm the rooms you use most.

🧺 CHECK YOUR WINTER SUPPLIES
Make sure you have the basics at home, including paracetamol, tissues, cold and flu medicines, regular prescriptions, and easy meals for days when someone is unwell.

💉 GET YOUR FLU VACCINE
Protecting yourself and your whānau from influenza is one of the best things you can do every winter.

Winter can be tough, but you don’t have to manage it alone. If you or your whānau need care, advice, or a flu vaccine, please get in touch. We’re here to help.

☀️ GO DRY THIS JULY FOR SOMEONE YOU LOVE 🎗️

Most of us know someone who has been affected by cancer.

A friend, a whānau member, a neighbour, a colleague, or someone in our community.

That’s what Dry July is all about. It’s a chance to come together, go alcohol-free for the month, and help raise funds for practical support services that can make a real difference.

Funds raised through Dry July help provide care, guidance, wellbeing workshops, exercise and rehabilitation programmes, and other hands-on support for people going through some of life’s toughest moments.

Whether you sign up, support someone taking part, or simply share the message, every bit of support helps.

🫂 SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH GRIEF, LOSS, AND DISTRESS 🕊️

At times, our island community experiences sadness, grief, and loss that can deeply affect whānau, friends, neighbours, and the wider community.

During these times, it is important to remember that support is available. Nobody should have to carry these feelings alone.

Grief and emotional distress can affect people in many different ways. Some people may feel sadness, shock, anger, numbness, anxiety, exhaustion, or isolation. Others may notice changes in sleep, appetite, concentration, or motivation.

For some people, difficult experiences and overwhelming emotions can also lead to feelings of hopelessness or thoughts of su***de. There is no “right” way to respond to grief or distress, and healing looks different for everyone.

Piritahi Hau Ora Social Services encourages our community to check in on one another, stay connected, and reach out for support when needed. Sometimes, a simple conversation, a shared meal, or spending time together can make a meaningful difference.

If you or someone you know is struggling with grief, emotional distress, overwhelming thoughts, or suicidal ideation, please know that help is available. Speaking with a trusted friend, kaumātua, health professional, counsellor, or support service can be an important first step.

Our Social Services team is here to provide:

💙 Supportive listening and wellbeing support
💬 Counselling and brief intervention support
🤝 Su***de prevention and safety support
🔗 Help connecting with appropriate services
🌿 Support for whānau navigating grief, trauma, and difficult life events

Please contact Piritahi Hau Ora on 09 372 0022, Monday to Friday, if you would like support for yourself, your tamariki, or your whānau.
