Pania Te-Paiho Marsh is worried New Zealand isn't focusing enough on the mental wellbeing of our youth. The Tokomaru resident is taking her concerns to Parliament, organising a march on May 6 to highlight New Zealand's youth suicide rate. Te-Paiho Marsh said her nephew died in a suspected suicide in 2018 when he was just 11, profoundly affecting her own children and their cousins.
