Mental Health Awareness Week (NZ)

Mental Health Awareness Week in New Zealand is all about shining a light on mental health and well-being. Happening every year, usually in September or October, it’s organised by the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand to raise awareness, share useful resources, and help break the stigma around mental health. It’s a chance to start conversations, support each other, and remind everyone that mental health matters – just like physical health. 

This week drums up heaps of activities, workshops, podcasts, and public events, all designed to educate and engage the community. It underscores the importance of understanding and accepting mental health challenges as a part of the human experience. It serves as a reminder that mental well-being is as important as physical health. By being open, we can better support those who are struggling, share personal experiences, and break down the barriers that stop folks from finding help.
