Tuia te rangi e tu nei
Tuia te papa e takoto nei
Tuia i te here tangata
Tihei Mauriora
He honore, he kororia ki te atua i runga rawa
He whakaaro maha ki a ratou kua haere ki te wahi ngaro
Ki te tini, ki te mano, rau rangatira ma anei nga wharangi whakamohio o Te Tūranga Hauora Hinengaro
Nau mai, piki mai, whakatau mai.

Kia ora, welcome to our website
The Mental Health Foundation wants mental health to be everybody's business.
We want workplaces, communites, government structures, and policies that promote wellbeing, and that value diversity and recognise and build on people's strengths. We want people to be confident in the knowledge they have about how to safeguard and enhance their wellbeing. We want participation by all in society where self-determination thrives and human rights are respected and promoted.
The Foundation defines mental health promotion as -
Mental health promotion works to enable individuals, whanau, organisations and communities to improve and sustain their mental health and realise their full potential.
