Changing attitudes around Mental Health
I AM HOPE aims to promote positive attitudinal societal change around mental health throughout New Zealand, offering hope and a voice to young people.
At I AM HOPE we’re about
NORMALISING THE INNER CRITIC
The voice inside all of our heads that has us second-guessing everything we do. The voice of doubt that beats us up and tells us we’re failures, that we’re worthless. Having an overactive inner critic is not a sign of mental illness, it’s a sign that we are normal.

Do you need help now?
Government agencies are doing their best, but some kids are stuck waiting up to six months to receive the counselling they urgently need. We connect kids with mental health counsellors and practitioners in their region or online, so they can get timely support, without the added stress of how to pay the bill.

Free call or text 1737 anytime to talk with a trained counsellor 24/7.
