Dare to question who you are?

With this knowledge, would the world not become a better place?

Consider those who are feeling as if  they don’t fit.  Perhaps they have moved from another country, or being teased for their accent.   Dare to question who you are?  Think about other countries and nationalities.  What is your approach to them.

But then consider your DNA journey? If we all understood our heritage, would there be extremism in the world?

Do you know what makes you who you are today? You have more in common with the world than you think.

We all face challenges to our mental health at various times in our lives. The way we’re feeling can change how we think and how we deal with tough times.

There’s a range of resources and services available to help including phone and online services and information, as well as face-to-face support.

Most services are free and provide information and confidential advice from trained professionals. There's also information for family, whānau, or friends if they need advice and support.

If you’re told that there is a waiting time for a service, please still reach out and make contact. Other supports can be put in place – ask what you can try in the meantime.
