Built to Bounce Back
This February, the NHC Resilience Team (and friends!) is putting our resilience to the test by taking part in The Push‑Up Challenge.
Between 5–27 February 2026, we’re challenging ourselves to complete 2,000 push‑ups — building strength, supporting each other, and pushing for better mental health outcomes across Aotearoa New Zealand.
Mental health, like hazard resilience, isn’t built in one big move — it’s strengthened through small, consistent actions over time. Every rep counts.
You can help us lift the load by joining our team or donating, and backing a cause that matters.
Funds raised support the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand to build a future where mental health is treasured, protected, and prioritised — every day, not just in a crisis.
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.
