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

Looking after your elders in lockdown is a priority, here are some tips to being proactive;
1) Have a plan- The most important step that you can take for yourself and your loved one is to have a plan in the event that you or they contract the virus and need to self-isolate. Reach out to friends and neighbours if you don’t have a wide circle of relatives to call upon.
2) Check-in daily- Perhaps one of the most crucial things we can do to help our loved ones through this trying time is to check in with them every day. Remember some of our older generation may not be connected to the online world so ensuring there is a clear line of communication is essential to maintain a connection.
3) Give them purpose- For some of our older family members, the trip to the supermarket might provide them with a sense of accomplishment so you want to be careful that by eliminating chances of exposure to the virus you’re not taking away their reason to get up in the morning.

Thank you to Midlands and Screentime for sponsoring our organisation.
All children misbehave, it is normal when children are tired, hungry, afraid, or learning independence. They can even drive us a bit crazy when stuck at home.
Feel like screaming?
Give yourself a 10-second pause. Breathe in and out slowly five times. Then try to respond in a calmer way. Many parents say this helps - A LOT!

This sounds maybe a bit crazy. We've been watching avocado tales every now and than. An when my children act out I sing the song or talk like them. An I'm the worse singer it immediately brings calm.
Kia ora New Zealand Police Managers' Guild Trust. You do such important mahi and we are proud to support you. Ngā mihi nui for helping to keep our children and our communities safe ❤️
Thank you so much SAE Auckland for all your support!
Best advice.
People who have stopped using violence say the hardest part is admitting they needed help to change their behaviour. It takes a lot of courage to understand your actions are hurting your family, however, there are many programmes and support services that can offer new ways of behaving.

The Police Managers' Guild Trust provide New Zealanders with support and useful information that helps them to avoid becoming a victim of crime.Authority's maintain control with violence, don't hesitate to seek help, just pick up the phone.
Great to see this info. But PLEASE GET SOME OF THIS ONTO TV. WHAT IS STOPPING YOU? FUNDING? BLOODY BIG BUSINESSES DIRECTING ADS AND THEREFORE PROGRAMMING? I know this is so. That's why we only have crap tv. Dumbing-down the people. Focus on BUY BUY BUY. Appealing to The Herd, Big Macho Stuff, Boobs and More. But DO NOT inform with sane information. Is Big Business approach. And of course Govt gets Big Share of ad profits. Obscene. Disgusting. Immoral
Problem is everyone else notice except for the one
The police use violence as a tool. Who do we call? We can't call the police, they are the perpetrators. Fkn sad man.
🤣🤣🤣police can’t do their job ……please hand yourself in 🤣🤣🤣🤣
0800 HEY BRO
Social work agencies are preparing for a likely increase in need after 654 reports of family violence were made to Police the day after the 2020 lockdown announcement. Victims may fear asking for help when the perpetrators are living with them, especially during lockdown when the victim cant leave. If you see something, say something.
If it is not safe to talk at home, you can ring 111, then push 55 where police understand silence to mean an alert.

The Police Managers' Guild Trust provide New Zealanders with support and useful information that helps them to avoid becoming a victim of crime.You guys still doing those dodgy publications with next to no circulation, and over priced advertising sold by high pressure sales staff? 🧐
Please know people do care. They may start off as strangers & turn into friends. Maybe you have a friend that you can confide in. Use a code if you need to. For those on the side, it is also OK & usually very much appreciated by the person, if you ask "Are you OK?" Three simple words can mean so much, even when the person may be perfectly fine.
Don’t blame lockdown. Can’t blame lockdown. Direct it where it belongs. If they are challenged already they will use “ lock down” to merely act out more Get help get out ( when it actually starts ) first time

Eat healthy meals? But people with mask exemptions are being turned away at supermarkets due to bad advice from Police.Told to get a doctors signature but went to the doctors and there is a note on their door saying not to come in.What part of this is being kind? Exemptions exist, and are not required to be shown. Why are the Police encouraging discrimination against customers at supermarkets? Smaller shops are not being so cruel, they deserve our business more than the evil giant supermarkets anyway I guess.
Rowan Chivers I've been trying to get an exemption of a different sort for one of my children. I couldn't get an appointment till the 20th of September. You would think someone would do these exemptions anyway. That is ridiculously unfair to treat people that way at the supermarket.
Jacinda Moore children should not be required to show an exemption because they are already exempt if they are under 12. The enforcement of health guidance is way over the top. I'm not making this up, reference-Face coverings at Alert Level 4 ...Current exemptions for face coverings remain in place. Who does not need to wear a face covering Face coverings do not need to be worn: 🔘 by children under 12 covid19.govt.nz/health-and-wellbeing/protect-yourself-and-others-from-covid-19/wear-a-face-coveri...
Rowan Chivers it is an exemption for school, it is mandatory or expected for children to do other thing's beyond wearing a mask. Except one of my children isn't able to. I believe you, I read this. An it was great to know. Mask wearing has been a challenge as well.
I think it is horrendous what they are doing in schools to children at these times. Even the hand sanitising is not acceptable in my opinion, washing hands with soap occasionally is plenty. I don't want to be a part of enforcing any of it, in my role at the schools. I'm relieved to hear that when school goes back the children and teachers are not expected to wear masks, so far.
Rowan Chivers oh great, I wasn't aware of that. I haven't followed much of the news updates lately. That is great that you aren't taking on that role.I believe, just like adults have a voice and aren't able to use thing's like face masks, or normal soaps in my case. That children should be allowed to express they aren't using something that isn't right for them.Thank you for informing me of that. I messaged you the issue.
Above advice should be on ALL TV channels. Slightly simplified as too many words. I keep nagging Unite Against Covid to do so..... Perhaps you will have more influence!I've been SERIOUSLY concerned for those with mental health issues, in Family Violence, during Lockdowns. Not enough info ads on TV for getting help for these issues and this IS the best medium - visual, direct, nationwide. Please try. Sophie Glendorran
Thankfully my experience at the supermarket today was much more kind. I was let into pak n save with my mask exemption. I don't know what has changed, maybe it is level 3 or maybe the Police stopped telling lies to the supermarket about it being a good idea to exclude people with exemptions.
