OfficeMax 0800 What's Up
Back to school time can be a difficult and anxious time for our tamariki.
While it is considered a core strength of New Zealand’s teacher workforce to play an emotional support role for pupils, counselling is not in the scope of our expertise.
As young people grapple with an increasingly complex and varied range of issues, services like the child and youth counselling helpline 0800 What’s Up are absolutely essential for connecting our young people to qualified counsellors who can rapidly provide the necessary support.
Alongside our business partner OfficeMax, we’d like to encourage our school leaders to raise awareness of the latest 0800 What’s Up ‘toolkit’ for tamariki in schools across New Zealand, including posters, web banners and other digital assets to help raise awareness of the youth helpline.
