Share your Top Tip
In support of Mental Health Awareness Week 2024, 0800 What’s Up invite tamariki and rangatahi to share their wellbeing tips, get creative and inspire other young people in Aotearoa.
We’d love you to write a short tip on what you do to support your own wellbeing, because whatever works for you just might help someone else as well.
The 0800 What’s Up team will choose their favourite winning tips. You could win $500 cash for your group or class, or $250 cash (2x to be won) as an individual (prizes kindly sponsored by OfficeMax).
The winners will be announced during Mental Health Awareness Week, starting 23 September 2024, and showcased on our social media channels.
The competition opens: 16 September – 25 September 2024 (5pm).
How to enter:
- write a short paragraph of about three to five sentences, or 50 to 100 words, or make a voice recording of yourself speaking
- share one or more of your top tips for supporting your own mental wellbeing
- submit one entry only.
