New initiative in Kāpiti to help at-risk youth

From Checkpoint, 6:23 pm on 4 October 2019

A new initiative on the Kapiti Coast will provide funds for schools across the region to access counselling services to young people at risk. The region, just North of Wellington, has been particularly affected by youth suicides in recent years. Today some of Kapiti's older citizens organised a fundraiser to help pay for mental health services for the younger members of their community - raising thousands of dollars for the cause. RNZ reporter Harry Lock was there.
