Did you know that New Zealand leads the developed world in teen suicide?
In the last year, there were 668 suicide related deaths in NZ. It’s clear that our people, especially our youth, need an easier way to seek and access help.
The MYRIVR App is for people of all ages with guidance and support available from more than 7,000 listed health & social service providers. It’s free to use and easy to download on mobile phones.
Bluegates is committed to supporting our communities and each month, we donate to a local appeal to shed light on worthy causes right on our doorstep. This ties into our company philosophy of #givingback and aligns with one of our core values.
In July, we contributed $500 to MYRIVR, a powerful App designed to help protect and save lives. It was developed by a South Auckland tech start-up over the past decade and is pioneered by co-founder Akerei (Rei) Maresala-Thomson.
“Prevention is better than cure”, Rei Maresala-Thomson.
For the benefit of our wider community throughout New Zealand, MYRIVR needs our encouragement and support. Awareness is the key. It helps us to address problems early on and that leads to prevention.
MYRIVR is a not for profit organisation that needs funding to be able to continue its good work in our communities. You can show your support by donating to Trust MYRIVR or download the App today. Visit www.myrivr.co.nz to learn more.
