My Work^^^
Health is a complex and complicated topic. Most people believe that there are many dimensions
(areas) of health - physical health, social health, mental health, emotional health, etc. Mental
health is an area that is not often discussed. It is basically the way we think and feel about
ourselves and the world around us. Sometimes our mental health can be affected by things
that have happened in our lives, or by changes in our brains that we cannot control.
Here in New Zealand, people like Mike King and John Kirwan have made the choice to speak
publicly about the mental health challenges that they face. Overseas, people like The Duke
and Duchess of Cambridge, have joined the discussion about mental health and, like John and
Mike, started a foundation to support people struggling with mental health challenges.

John Kirwan started the John Kirwan Foundation in 2018. Mike King founded The Key to Life
Foundation, the I Am Hope and the Gumboot Friday campaigns while the Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge started the Heads Together foundation in 2017. In each case, these foundations
serve an important role in the community.

Kia ora Kamaea,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing about John Kirwan. It sounds like he is someone that inspires you! Can you tell us about why you chose him to represent mental health, and why you chose the facts you did? We'd love to hear :)

Mental wellbeing is more than the absence of mental illness and it is more than feeling happy. Someone with positive mental health and high wellbeing is feeling good, functioning well, has satisfaction with life, is developing as a person, and has strong relationships...make sure you have a good mental health this year Kamaea.
