Due to social exclusion and discrimination, the Rainbow population of New Zealand are at higher risk of suicide. The teenage years are difficult for everyone, especially those that may identify with a diverse sexuality. If a young person confides in you about their sexuality, be reassuring and ask how you can support them if needed. It is also important to remember that they have trusted you with this personal information so let them know that you will respect their privacy. If you or one of your loved ones would like to talk about LGBTIQ+ topics or questions you may have, there are helplines like Outline (outline.org.nz/) that give you access to professionals. You can also check out our website for tips on maintaining a healthy relationship with your teenagers. pmgt.org.nz/teen-safety/#top.

Self harm amongst our youth is a serious issue and is only becoming more common in New Zealand. If you find out your child is self harming; the most important thing to do is listen and be calm and reassuring. It is a good idea to create a safe environment for them to openly talk as it is a much better coping mechanism for their emotions, anxiety, stress or depression. To learn more about danger signs or to find some helplines that can assist you or a loved one please visit our website pmgt.org.nz/teen-safety/ and directory pmgt.org.nz/directory/.

Love this article informativeness. I use to self harm years ago. It hurts even more hearing a family member is doing it. I wouldnt ever wish for anyone to be that hurt, that the only way they can relieve that hurt is by self harming. As i know how it felt to do this. I know as well how hurt these young people feel.
I could say so much on this what I know through experience and what I have seen but I know I would be wasting my time' at the end of the day people get paid a lot of money for our children's anxiety stress and depression.
Omg it's not just youth trust me on that
Dont tell them not to do it. Suggest alternatives. Telling them not to let out their emotions, even though it isnt the best way. Will only make them bottle it up even more. Instead support your child with healthy solutions to deal with their issues.
Agree
Please Note: that many may be doing this on a regular basis but keeping it secret by harming in places that people can not see. If anyone tells you they are doing things that bring them harm please take them seriously and never dismiss the idea. If you have to keep it confidential to gain their confidence to keep them safe by being the one person they may be talking to about it, make sure you do as you promised but please seek out as much information as you can so you can guide this person and be there for them. Please ask that they always tell you the truth and assure them you are there for them 24 / 7. Please do not judge. They really need you.
Go lobby the education system. It's there it all begins.
The amount of serious abuse I've witnessed inside of police stations ought to be considered as well. Some of the underground cells I've seen are run like zoos, and the people treated similarly to farmed animals. 🤷♂️ Breaking the silence on that.
How can police help,? You target Māori _& Pacific to incriminate The police are a gang
Ecstasy, molly, pingers or MDMA are most commonly taken before or during parties and raves. These drugs are prevalent amongst youth in New Zealand, that is why it is so important to educate yourself and family about the effects of easily accessible drugs. The more familiar you are with the drugs the better equipped you are for a bad reaction. These class B drugs are known to make you feel like moving which could put the user at risk of overheating, exhaustion, and collapsing. For more information about the effects of these drugs and what to look out for, please visit our website: pmgt.org.nz/drug-abuse/.

Summers almost here which means perfect weather for scooters, skateboards and rollerblades! Here are some things to remember for some safe fun on your small wheels:
- A well fitted helmet and wrist guards should be worn when riding on small wheels.
- Before purchasing small wheels, decide on a safe flat area where this gift can be used.
- Check daily that the bolts are tight.
- Have awareness of pedestrian rights to a footpath - Rollerblading and skateboard injuries are mostly caused by running into vehicles and pedestrians.
