Changing Minds

Along with saying that we are before we think (see last post), Witi Ihimaera Smiler also asked this important question—

Who do we want to be?

And he directed this at us, the collective Aotearoa New Zealand. Who do we want to be? What do we want our home to be?

This is an especially critical question, at this time, with an Election looming. Who do we want to be? Who do we want representing us and making decisions on behalf of us?

We will continue to share information, so that we can all make an informed choice. In the meantime, make sure you're enrolled to vote 👉 https://f.mtr.cool/yzqdtxabtl

Over the course of the National Representative Body project, we’ve been hearing again and again how important connection is. With your help, we are wanting to learn more about the communities and networks that matter to people across Aotearoa’s mental health and addiction Lived Experience spaces.

We've created a short survey where you can share about the connections in your world. You don't have to have previously participated in the project to contribute and it should only take around 5 minutes.

We’d love to hear from:
🔸tāngata whaiora
🔸whānau and supporters
🔸people in Consumer, Peer Support, and Lived Experience roles
🔸organisations working alongside mental health and addiction communities

Your responses will stay private and will help us better understand the diversity and relationships that already exist across our communities.

If you’d like support to complete the survey, we'd love to help you out. Just email us at: [email protected] 💻
