John Palmer MNZM was elected as a Trustee in 1998 and to this day is still a very active member of the Trust Board.

Mid 2019 the PMGT Board recognised Brian and John's outstanding service by making them Life Members of the Trust, the first of such awards. For Dave's excellent service and 13 years of hard work the Board thanked him with a Meritorious Service Award.
People who self-harm are not weak or crazy or attention-seeking. They are overwhelmed by how they’re feeling and it’s a way they hope will help them feel better. While self-harm may help in the short term, it is not a healthy or sustainable way to deal with problems or emotions. Anybody can call these help services, whether it’s someone who needs support or somebody wanting to help a loved one: pmgt.org.nz/directory/#mental-health-directory
Thank you to B.O.P Memorials Ltd, Pyrotek, and Korowai Aroha - Health Centre for supporting our organisation.
Self harm can become addictive behaviour, its a private thing a secret act, you may not even know there is an issue..... You need to look for the tell tale signs, mood swings, long sleeves and long pants in the warmer weather.... Irritability, lack of interest in favourite things - sport, hanging out with friends, isolating themselves, tearful, emotionally lost, self loathing..... Attention seeking is a terrible way to describe it, unless you have suffered yourself or walked beside someone who has, you will know its nothing to do with showing off and they certainly not intending to draw attention to themselves in anyway shape of form.. All they are doing is "coping", self-harm is how they cope, it is like a release valve, they could be trying to feel something, anything! Trying to endure physical pain as it is easier to do than trying to address the mental and emotional pain.... They feel shame, they don't want loved ones to know what they are doing because they don't want them to worry or feel disappointed in them. They find it easier to hurt themselves than it is to hurt you....<3 Yes the issue needs addressing and yes it is sadly becoming more and more popular for troubled kids....
As a former self harmer I totally agree
