We have a mental health crisis in this country, and we cannot sit idly by while so many of our people are suffering from despair and hopelessness. There is no excuse to allow for the poverty, the inequities, the racism, the judging, the profiling that is making our people think there is no hope, that they are less than. We must do better, and I believe, united, we can. I have strong tautoko, as an individual, as an MP, as Te Paati Māori, to continue to support long-term, cross-party efforts to address. I ask that we all, within our sphere of influence as w'ānau, as w'ānaunga, as leaders, as participants in community, we lift up: we lift up the trauma that is falling on our communities, on our rangatahi, on our tāne, and we help them to breathe.
