We’d like to give a massive shoutout to our Principal Partner ASB Bank for donating 10 laptops to our services team. These laptops will play a critical role in enabling us to assist rangatahi who reach out for help. Ngā mihi nui ASB for your unwavering support and continued commitment to our mahi! #asbbank #youthlinenz

Ngā mihi nui to our partners Noel Leeming for hooking us up with a new dishwasher kindly donated by Panasonic New Zealand Ltd. We reached out for help when our old dishwasher gave up on us and they have both come to our rescue. This is the true Kiwi spirit, a spirit of support and aroha always! #noelleemingnz #panasonicnz

Last Friday, on the 14th of June, our Good2Great free full-day workshop took place at ILT Stadium Southland in Invercargill, in collaboration with Central Southland College, Aurora College, Verdon College, and Southland Boys College, as well as with the support of Ministry of Social Development (MSD), Simpson Grierson, and Youthtown Inc. New Zealand. The workshop aimed to equip young individuals with practical tools to manage stress, build self-confidence and resilience, and take charge of their thoughts, feelings, and actions. We were privileged to welcome a special guest, Judah Metu-Teaukura, also known as Judaxx, a renowned content creator famous for her comedy skits and lifestyle content on TikTok, where she has nearly 850,000 followers and was awarded TikTok Creator of the Year in 2023. With a staggering 42.6 million TikTok likes, Judah continues to expand her influence across multiple platforms, including Instagram where she has 102k followers, sharing positivity and gratitude towards her family, followers, and life. We extend our gratitude to Judah for gracing our event and inspiring the youth in attendance. Her presence undoubtedly left a lasting impression, with the key takeaways from the event emphasising the importance of kindness, helping others, being sensible, emotional management, speaking up, positivity, recognising shared experiences, and adopting diverse stress management strategies. Thank you, Judah, for your contribution! #youthline #good2great

I had the privilege of attending the Good2Great event in Murihiku today. It was inspiring to meet young people showing great leadership qualities! It was a sweet bonus being able to recognise some inspiring leaders with One NZ Warriors merch! A big thanks to Krista Farley from Youthline Southland for inviting me. Good2Great is a fantastic collaboration between Youthline, the Ministry of Youth Development, Simpson Grierson, and Youthtown Inc. New Zealand. It helps young Kiwis recognise their inner awesome and tackle life's challenges. 🎦 SBHS vs CSC 'Chant Off'
