He mana tō te mātau ā-wheako
Our lived experience
is our strength
Changing Minds is a national not-for profit organisation, led and operated by people who have navigated their own lived experience journey through mental health and addiction.
We embrace and nurture tangata mātau ā-wheako to embrace the mana of their lived experiences as a source of collective strength to activate equitable wellbeing across all of Aotearoa.
We work in the broad area of health services, advocacy, human rights, and health policy, and we collect, articulate, and activate the strategic voice of lived experience.
