1,250,000
people in Aotearoa need mental
wellbeing support every year.
400,000
people are supported by public health
services and registered counsellors.
825,000
people are currently left without support.
We work to bridge this gap.
We’re working to mobilise more people and resources to make them successful.
We partner with people, organisations and communities that are ambitious to dramatically shift mental health and addiction recovery in Aotearoa. Our aim is to create space for teams with diverse talents to collaborate, to work alongside people with lived experience, and to support new ideas and solutions for better mental wellbeing.
Through our work we want to increase the access, effectiveness, diversity, and affordability of mental wellbeing and addiction support available to all people in Aotearoa.
We are curious, ambitious for change, and impatient for action.
We’re looking to connect, learn from, and work with people who share our ambition.
