Care to Self-care? Youth Mental Health Project (WE HAVE KICKED OFF SO JOIN NOW)

🌿 Care to Self-Care? is an exciting design contest hosted by Reconnect NZ, inviting Auckland high school students (Years 9–13) to create practical, inspiring self-care tools that promote wellbeing—physically, mentally, socially, or spiritually.
