Like Minds, Like Mine
Kia ora koutou,
Like Minds, Like Mine is a national, publically-funded programme that aims to reduce the stigma and discrimination associated with mental distress. Mind and Body Consultants is an Auckland provider of the Like Minds programme.
Like Minds at Mind and Body seeks to counter discrimination by inviting people to rethink their ideas of mental distress.
Our Like Minds initiatives include:
- www.outoftheirminds.co.nz, a website dedicated to profiling successful artists and thinkers who explore the value of madness and share how these experiences are woven into their creativity, work and worldview.
- Every year the RETHiNK Grants support initiatives in the Auckland region that reduce stigma and discrimination associated with madness. Applications open 1 February and close 30 April with the winners announced 28 May 2010. The Grant application form, guidelines and further information can be found at www.rethinkgrant.co.nz
- RETHiNK Madness workshops are free custom designed workshops aimed at supporting people to:
- rethink their attitudes and ideas of mental distress
- hold and explore multiple perspectives
- develop mentally healthy workplaces free of stigma and discrimination
For more information on any of these initiatives go to www.outoftheirminds.co.nz or contact Taimi Allan for one of our Like Minds information packs.
