New Zealand launches eye-catching “Love Better” campaign to support and help young people with heartbreak. With the campaign, the New Zealand government wants to suggest a healthy way to deal with a breakup. They want to normalize the strong feelings of heartbreak. New Zealand is the first country to launch such a campaign.

The government will reach young people through videos, articles and podcasts. In addition, they are launching a platform where young people can talk to professionals about their feelings. They have already launched a promotional video about the campaign, in which young people talk about heartbreak. A 6.4 million New Zealand dollars budget will be made available for this.

The campaign follows an earlier government investigation. For example, almost 80 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds are said to have already been in a relationship, of whom 87 percent have suffered enormous heartbreak. Consequences of the breakups include self-harm, depression, jealousy, revenge, and stalking.

In addition, there are high rates of violence within relationships and families in New Zealand. One in six young people has already been involved in a physical fight. The New Zealand government sought an innovative way to deal with these 2022 figures.
