Following this morning’s announcement from the Health Minister, we’re proud to be an accredited Health NZ provider for online 24/7 telehealth care with our Online Now service.

The best part? Casual patients with a community services card can now access lower fees! 💜

But sharing what you’re going through - even just telling someone you’re having a hard time - can lighten the load and remind you that you’re not in this by yourself. Reach out to someone you trust or reach out to us. Connection is healing 🤗 🌼

Tend Health @tend.nz · 5d

You don’t have to handle everything alone 🫂 Building connection is one of the most protective factors for mental health, yet it’s often the first thing we let slip when times get tough. We withdraw, thinking we need to sort things out by ourselves first, or not wanting to “bother” anyone.

Try this simple technique our Health Improvement Practitioners recommend: it helps you take back control by giving your worries a specific time and place, rather than letting them run your day.

This approach can free up mental space and reduce the constant background anxiety of unresolved concerns

Feeling overwhelmed by worries? 😥 When worries take over, they can consume your whole day - popping up during meetings, keeping you awake at night, making it hard to focus on anything else. It’s exhausting carrying all that mental weight 😮‍💨

Our Health Improvement Practitioners share a five-step framework that breaks things down. Using a structured approach can transform an overwhelming problem into manageable steps, helping you move from stuck to action 🤗

Tend Health @tend.nz · 6d

Feeling stuck with a problem? Sometimes the hardest part isn’t the problem itself - it’s knowing where to start. When everything feels tangled up, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or paralysed by indecision 🥴

By intentionally planning small, manageable activities - even when you don’t feel like it - you can start to shift your mood 🤗

Movement and small achievements can help lift your mood, even when motivation is low 💜

Tend Health @tend.nz · 7d

Feeling stuck in a low mood? When you’re feeling down, everything can feel harder - even getting out of bed or doing simple tasks. It’s a cruel paradox: the things that might help us feel better are often the last things we feel like doing.

One of the most effective tools is activity scheduling.

As a health provider in Aotearoa, we recognise Te Reo Māori as an official language of our land, woven into the identity of our nation.

Taking time to learn even a little each day is a powerful way to deepen understanding and celebrate this living language.

Also, a substantial part of the Tend app is available in Te Reo! We designed it from day 1 to be localisable, and you can change your settings in the Account page.

While it's not 100% - we've done a lot of work since the last time we had the words updated - its sitting at about 85-90% Te Reo!

To kick things off, we’re sharing the beautiful Māori names for our clinic locations - from Tāmaki Makaurau to Moana-a-Toi, Ōtautahi and Hakatere.

Nō hea koe? Which wāhi (place) do you call home? Give the name a go in Te Reo!

This year marks 50 years of Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori (Māori Language Week) and we’re excited to celebrate here at Tend!

Te Reo Māori isn’t just for this week — it’s a taonga (treasure) that can be spoken every day, by everyone, as an official language of Aotearoa.
