Where to get help

Katie advises blocking the bully and reporting anything extreme to police. She says, “I’ve blocked so many trolls and I don’t know what they’re saying any more, so they can go for gold!”

She also recommends watching TheInsideWord on TVNZ OnDemand, explaining, “This is the sort of television the country needs. We need to talk about mental health responsibly and correctly.”
