New Mental Health Support Services Proposed in Katikati

In light of the recent River Sounds Festival, new mental health support services are being discussed in Katikati. These initiatives aim to foster community engagement and provide vital resources.

The Everyone Hurts Foundation is spearheading efforts to create accessibility in mental health services, advocating for a peer-to-peer counselling programme. Rebecca Dine, a key organiser from the festival, highlighted the community need for these services following tragic local events.

The foundation plans collaborative efforts with local groups to integrate these solutions into existing public health frameworks, supporting residents in need.
