About My Challenge

I've had the most experience I've ever had with our mental health system over the past year, and through my psychology course a lot of insights into what is conducive to improving mental health. Although the mental health system in New Zealand has some great initiatives, the system itself is wildly inadequate. As with the rest of our health system, many people fall through the gaps without appropriate support, and end up circling back when they have gotten worse. Organisations like the Mental Health Foundation are essential in attempting to bridge that gap, improve the way we approach mental health and to advocate for those who need more help.

Supporting Mental Health Foundation

Funds raised will invested by the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand [The MHF] in three core areas of mahi:

  • Promoting everyday actions that lift mental wellbeing
  • Providing tools that support people through tough times
  • Advocating for a better mental health system and society

With your tautoko/support, we can build a fairer, more connected Aotearoa where everyone’s mental health is valued and protected.

Whāia te hauora hinengaro kia puāwai ai te hauora tangata - there is no health without mental health.
