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.

Attitudes and behaviours on supplying alcohol to under 18s

16 Mar 2023

Studies show that parental social supply is more likely to contribute to increased alcohol use, and increased risk of alcohol-related harm later in life. Despite this, New Zealand adults reported to have socially suppled alcohol to under 18-year-olds in the last year.

Social supply of alcohol to under 18s

16 Mar 2023

Alcohol consumption by young people aged under 18 years (‘under 18s’) increases the risk of adverse physical and cognitive development, other alcohol-related harms, and alcohol-use disorders later in life. Social supply is the supply of alcohol to individuals under the minimum purchase age by parents, guardians, friends, or others.
