SUPPORTER SHOWCASE
As Aotearoa's largest support service for the health and wellbeing of tamariki under 5's and their whānau, Plunket has been the PMGT's partner on all matters relating to child safety and wellbeing for twenty five years.
Together we have conducted national campaigns focusing on positive parenting, informing the public on matters relating child safety, and funding a wide range of community support organizations and services. Sincerely, thank you for your support - the team at the NZPMGT.
COMMUNITY GRANTS
Your donation will help us to continue to offer practical help to children and their families in need of some human kindness and community support. This we do by providing items of warmth and care through social service and community professionals, who make requests on their clients’ behalf. These include police, public health nurses, social and community workers.
Donations help support the day to day running of the charity and allow us to purchase blankets and other items of warmth and comfort. In addition, your donation allows us to put together family care packs to the Northshore and Auckland hospital’s ICUs (intensive care departments).
We want members of the community to not only feel supported and warm, but importantly valued, and your donation carries this message of valuing others. Together we have created a community of kindness.
Kind regards,
Bernie Harfleet

Teen Safety - Parenting, Youth Suicide, Alcohol, Drugs - Police Managers' Guild Trust
pmgt.org.nz
Parenting can be hard. Learn the signs of youth suicide, alcohol, and drug abuse. What to do when you suspect something is wrong.Im pretty sure that the ministerial enquiry into mental health recommended the immediate decriminalisation of all drugs. And yet, the NZ police are constantly bullying the public and commiting armed home invasions to steal peoples medicines. Shame.Shame shame shame.
Yes I do know someone. Half of the drs at Dunedin hospital are in mental distress and are a danger to their patientsRemember DR X who came forward a few months ago and spilled the beans?Yet judging by media silence, the sdhb have swept it under the rug
Please Note: This applies to all ages.
This is an issue that gets swept under the rug, many police just transfer sick people to different regions before the whanau gets a real assessment done and many homeless don't feel safe talking to police. Mental health is on the rise with our homeless people
Make sure your belongings are tightly and safely secured and KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD!
Saw another muppet on motorway at northcote yesterday, him and a mate carrying a mattress back to the trailer because it came off. Every week I see terribly secured loads either on tradie vehicles or private. I’m not surprised these things happen. Rear bike racks overloaded, ladders held on with bungie cords. And it seems that hardly any scaffolders know to “choker” loads of pipes going over headboards. You need to crack down on this..,!
Post traumatic stress disorder awareness month has passed but awareness for the cause shouldn't stop there. People with PTSD are not dangerous. Aggression and psychosis are not symptoms of this disorder, and although movies may display people suffering from PTSD as ‘crazy’ - this is not a diagnosis but rather a stigmatising and damaging label. To learn more about PTSD please visit our website: pmgt.org.nz/mental-health/#top

If one has had depersonalization and PTSD can one request all prior convictions be wiped (for drink driving) since the alcohol drinking was also a symptom of a hormonal imbalance (estrogen deficiency) which is seen in menopausal women and has been proven with a study done at a detox centre in America in 2015, I had my hypothesis I was drinking to calm my brain with alcohol due to estrogen deficiency in 2002 (before my first Drink drive charge in 2005). I say this because since I've started estrogen and progesterone for lung development, stop medically induced menopause and to transition too I have stopped having the want to drink alcohol as well (rather avoid it these days). I can prove everything I have said as well since it's all noted in my medical records to boot (my drink drives have been used by family court judge to say I have an alcohol addiction issue (based on hearsay - this is slander, libel and defamation) when records and an AoD psychiatrist assessment prove otherwise)
So glad we could be a part of this Hardware Direct Locksmith Divison
NZ surgeons, specialists and drs are following government instructions to murder patients with medical device injuriesI have the evidence of this too as it’s happening to me but yet again the police weren’t interested in the evidence because it’s drs following government policy to refuse treatment to those allergic to medical devicesIt appears the polices job is to protect people in positions of power from being caught committing crimes. So the police are involved too and I have recordings of that too
Post traumatic stress disorder i have lived with for many years and the stigma and damaging label are still getting to me making it worse for me to even leave my house just for a walk people do look at you different when they find out you have Post traumatic stress disorder. it is tough it has an impact on my mental health now
NZ drs are the most discriminatory against those with mental illness and many threaten patients with a false mental illness diagnosis if they make a complaint against the dr.Many drs also threaten patients that if they complain they will be refused healthcare in futureI have recordings of drs doing this to be released soon.I went to the police but they weren’t interested because it’s a dr
When was it?
The teenage years can be a strange time for both teenagers and their parents! The better you can communicate with your teenagers, the more at ease your child will feel about discussing drugs and other sensitive issues with you.

New Zealand Police Managers’ Guild Trust
pmgt.org.nz
The Police Managers' Guild Trust provide New Zealanders with support and useful information that helps them to avoid becoming a victim of crime.Why funding at the first place? This government is busy in funding refugees,funding NGO's who are running conversion of people,support to community for the vote bank,do not have time and funds for kiwi kids,suicidal rate is at top,drugs are becoming more and more common,this government should go now
Sounds about right
(THC) Cannabis is a good drug, probably better than caffeine in tea and coffee. I tried cannabis when I was 13. If the information available at the time was closer to the truth and encouraged me to wait until I was an adult, I don't know if it would have put me off or not, but the way it was spoken about in school was so far from the truth it was not an open and honest discussion. There was D.A.R.E. and they made cannabis sound so bad it didn't live up to reality.Once we legalise cannabis we can have honest discussions about it and the health benefits to children- and they can then wait until an appropriate age to start consuming it if they choose to.Cannabis prohibition has failed. Lets get on with legalisation!
Parents be aware
And for meth? and cocaine? and heroine? and alcohol? oh you just talking herbs.
No more government funding for organisations that sell drugs to children.
What are the stats for 'first drink'. The age is for doing this is 12.🤨
Yes but it seems alcohol is the gateway drug as they usually try alcohol first
perhaps it would be smarter to teach adults that as role models of behaviour their own addictions become THE example. It doesn't matter what you do or don't do as a parent, weed, over the counter or unnecessary meds, booze etc, your kids will do it their way but the behaviour is the same. I do believe that is about the same age most kids start smoking and drinking also. (not sure but it certainly was when I was that age) I honestly don't think money fixes this type of problem, more attention to child abuse and decent sentencing for crimes against children would possibly go a long way to reducing mental health issues later.
