Health Minister Annette King today launches
the third Like Minds, Like Mine campaign aimed at reducing
stigma and discrimination associated with experiences of
mental illness.
The first two successful and award-winning
campaigns featured well-known New Zealanders and their
friends. This third campaign, featuring three New Zealanders
who volunteered to participate, and their friends and
families, uses story-telling to communicate powerful images
of recovery and inclusion.
Ms King says the bravery and
generosity of Rachael, Les and Lana, who are sharing their
experiences, has the potential to make a real difference to
the lives of other New Zealanders who have experienced
mental illness.

MFAT's decision to remove te reo from correspondence before new Ministers are sworn in risks undermining the important progress the public sector has made in honouring te Tiriti. "We are very disappointed in what is a backward decision - it simply seems to be a Ministry bowing to the racist rhetoric we heard on the election campaign trail," says Marcia Puru. More
