From Morning Report, 6:18 am on 19 November 2020

The number of young people seeking mental health services in Kāpiti has tripled since lockdown.

That's according to Kāpiti Youth Support which helps close to 80 percent of people in the area aged between 10 and 25 years old who need support.

Chief executive, Rachel Osborne, told Eleisha Foon that her resource just can't match daily demand.
