Social isolation is an issue facing people once they retire. A recent study from the AUT Centre of Active Ageing reports that loneliness in men over 60 impacts their health and well-being.            

Volunteering Auckland is tackling this issue by launching the Ambassador Programme - it’s a world first retirement transition programme that assists retirees in continuing with a purpose by contributing to their community    

Thursday Wire host Stewart Sowman-Lund spoke to Volunteering Auckland General Manager Cheryll Martin and started by asking her about the programme ahead of next week’s launch.

Trigger warning: this next piece contains discussion around suicide and sexual violence.

On Tuesday a report on the health of trans and non-binary New Zealanders revealed some alarming statistics on psychological distress, discrimination and ongoing barriers to health services. The report titled “Counting Ourselves” is a comprehensive study claiming to be the first of its kind in this country, including a survey of one thousand one hundred and seventy eight trans and non-binary participants aged between fourteen and eighty three. The report is stated to be a resource for helping bring about long overdue change, calling for various improvements to laws, policies and training as well as the provision of clear pathways to gender affirming healthcare. William Boyd spoke with Dr Jaime Veale, the study’s Principal Investigator and Senior Lecturer in psychology at the University of Waikato. Will started off by asking Dr Veale to give a brief summary of the report and its aims.

Mobile Phone’s are an essential part of modern life. Everything from interacting with friends, sending money overseas and accessing the vast information vaults of the internet are all accessible through one’s mobile phone. Almost everyone has one, whether they be top of the line or bottom of the bargain barrel. This reliance on our collective connectivity have made the companies who manufacture these products a lot of money. However, like anything, the precious materials used to make a mobile are finite. So what happens if we run out? What is the environmental impact of this mass production? Tuwhenuaroa speaks to RE:Mobile’s Francis Barrett, and started off by asking what RE:Mobile is, and they’re goals are for the future.
