Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Wednesdays
The founder of I Am Hope says every cent of a funding boost will go into mental health counsellors. The Government has announced the Budget will include $24 million going into Mike King's Gumboot Friday initiative over four years. It gives under-25s free counselling. King says kids often take on the stress of adults around them. "It's huge for the mental health of the kids in New Zealand - they can get timely and quick service."
