As part of All Sorts, The Mental Health Foundation has commissioned research to explore community wellbeing in the aftermath of the extreme weather events in 2023, including Cyclone Gabrielle.
SIR Research is currently conducting online, phone, and postal surveys in Te Matau a Māui Hawke’s Bay, Tairāwhiti Gisborne, Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Te Tai Tokerau Northland, Thames-Coromandel, Wairarapa and Tararua on the Mental Health Foundation's behalf.
Anyone based in these areas are welcome to complete the survey and share it with personal and professional networks. People are encouraged to participate whether or not they have been directly impacted by the extreme weather events.
The survey is anonymous, takes 10-15 minutes and participants will have a chance to win one of three $200 Prezzy cards.
