AI – Let’s Talk About Sex

No one talks about sex! We wanted to change that by helping to normalise sexual health talk and by creating a space that empowers rangatahi to connect, learn and express themselves. AI – Let’s Talk About Sex is about providing supportive and informative kōrero about sex for rangatahi by rangatahi.

Stick it to hep C

Over 200 New Zealanders continue to die each year from hepatitis C even though we now have an easy test and an easy cure. Every single one of these deaths could have been prevented by earlier diagnosis and treatment.

Minimising gambling harm

Campaign

Nan's Song

22 Jul 2022

Gambling causes harm in our communities. How do we support people who may be on an unsafe path but don’t realise it? We help them see the warning signs. Doing this well requires a direct message that’s also mana-enhancing. Nan’s Song is a campaign drawing on Māori and Pasifika culture but grounded in universal truths. Nan is the matriarch, a pillar of strength.
