@shearer_robyn Agree a time like no time before for addressing mental health and addiction challenges positively

Looking forward to 2020 and more progress to support mental wellbeing- we have so many opportunities ahead

From our youth team at #IIHML: "I do this work to make sure that no child feels the pain I felt. And when I reflect on that, it's clear to me that if the people I am doing this work for are youth, then it is them I must do this work with. There is no other way." #YouthMH

#Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 sought to reduce alcohol-related harm & consumption by requiring minimum pricing; looks like that has had positive results. On a weighted score of harm to individuals & society, alcohol ranks far above many drugs deemed illegal. tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-z…

Critical elements of well-being a job, a home and connections!

The youth panel at IIMHL talking about the future they want for mental wellbeing @Werry_Workforce @minhealthnz @IIMHL @TePouNZ proud of the young New Zealanders representing - we need more youth in decisions on our future

Just been part of international network @IIMHL spreading the Equally Well learnings.

Manisha Morar and Taisha Abbott speaking at the youth forum at IIMHL/IIDL forum in Washington. Young passionate New Zealand leaders who are drawing on their lived experiences with a plea to do more WITH rather than TO weave a kete together for tino rangatiratanga. Iimhl#

New Zealand contingent at Iimhl global leaders meeting sharing our innovations and learning about what more we could be doing. Social determinants, trauma inclusive, responding earlier, culturally responsive, supporting parents and babies. Lots more to do!!

Launch of the cross parliamentary forum on mental health. Sir J K had the parliamentarians dancing singing and hugging, and Whaia Moe Milne reminded us of the importance of connection, whanau and reflection.

One day I will be... a teacher. The realities of #women and #girls trapped in crisis rarely make headlines. @vtremeau asked #girls what they want to be when they grow up. We stand with them as they #inspire, #innovate and take charge of their own #future. bit.ly/32Xa6aP

Vital to privilege peers and the lived experience #imhc

Great to have such a warm reception to The NZ Mental Health Inquiry findings on this side of the Tasman.

Wonderful to have the Hon Dr David Clark launch EaseUp our youth AoD service with the support of Ngati Whatua Orakei today in Tamaki.

Emerge Aotearoa were joined in waiata today by @GovGeneralNZ at the Chch memorial site. #weareone

Heartfelt thanks to our Prime Minister for her unwavering leadership and to the many police, health workers and community agencies who have gone above and beyond. The many acts of kindness and aroha will bind us all. Standing united as a community. We are all one.

@nic_coom Collaboration and building our collective influence as community is critical as we go forward. Helping people see and understand the evidence on some of the hard issues we need to tackle like harm minimisation approaches to drugs and alcohol require collective strength

Dr Barbara Disley opening with a powerful statement "we can no longer have provider centric organisations". #healthyfutures @DisleyBarbara

@PeterGluckman @HelenClarkNZ Couldn’t agree more as it is only by more open discussion on the hard issues like harm minimisation approaches to alcohol and drug use that have evidence at their base that we will move forward.

Good evidence, sound analysis and well considered policy essential for progresss on SDGs: this requires effective science advice systems at both UN and national levels. Peter Gluckman and Helen Clark. #INGSA2018

@KatieRoseBruce Reinforces the view that communities do have the answers and community agencies and MPs have the power to change things through listening engaging and supporting and working with not doing to

If you want to change the conversation change the people round the table. Being on a diverse group- the mental health inquiry- completely changed by only who spoke but what we spoke about says Barbara Disley at #mentalhealth breakfast with ComVoices at Parliament

This is great news!
