Jason Gunn has a special message for parents whose children are struggling with bladder or bowel issues.

The much-loved Kiwi personality, and dad, says he knows parents just want their children to be happy and healthy. But in a video released to mark World Continence Week 2022 (20-26 June) he points out this isn’t always the case, as one in 12 children and teenagers will have bowel and bladder problems.

He urges parents to call the Continence Helpline on 0800 650 659.

“On the other end of that telephone there is someone who has empathy, and they’re experts. So they understand where you’re at and where your child is at. They also have a plan.”
