A Hawkes Bay family that lost a son to suicide is now behind a drive to get digital well-being support into as many schools as possible. They've formed a charitable trust in memory of Reid O'Leary who lost his life just after his 21st birthday, after struggling silently with mental health. New Zealand's suicide rates have decreased slightly in recent years - but remain high, especially for young people and Maori. The Trust has now launched the REID Wellness programme that provides digital platforms in schools allowing students who aren't feeling great to contact a teacher of their choice to talk things through. It wants to make Hawkes Bay the first region where students in all schools have access to support and well being help. Russell Borschman is a friend of the family and on the Trust's board.
