What is the issue?

Housing in NZ,  
Inform the kids, introduce the app, educate the kids. 

Lower class communities are wanting to go into the workforce but fall short due to lack of skill set, and experience.

Who is my audience?
Children from the age of 7 to 16,
And parents from the age of 21 and over.

A learning app that is introduced at school.

self prep, tips on breaking habits, educating the kids in identifying things.

The government is not giving enough fund and housing NZ can't provide for the needs of the houses which people with low income are living in. These houses are cold and often the kids in these families are getting sick, skin infection, and heart damage from rheumatic fever.

What is the issue?

Mental illness with pacific and Maori communities. Man Up!
High violent rates, suicide rates within pacific and maori communities.

Pacific youth are 3 times more likely to commit suicide than the national population.

What people need?

safe secure housing
structure and meaningful relationships
gainful employment
interpersonal relationships

Mental health:
Creating an app or website for high school students that let them know and give them tips on when they're in a situation of mental health or know someone who is going through mental ilness. From the age of 13-21 has the high suicide rates in NZ especially in poor communities.

What am I trying to show through this project?

Mental health is well and alive and it is not worth letting it go over our heads because it is killing a lot of kiwi kids and maybe some of our friends and family. I want to show awareness, teach the young generations through technology. Getting exposure in a sense that this issue is a well known issue that we have been avoiding. I know bullying has a lot to do with mental health and I want to find a way that it could be included in as well, "STOP THE BULL".

Who is my audience?

My audience would be around the age of 13-19 or over. This age group has the highest rate of mental health in NZ.
