Our Work - Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand

Our Workplace Wellbeing work is to help businesses and organisations obtain optimal mental health for their people.

As an employer or manager, you know it's your people who provide the greatest potential for success in your business. Maintaining optimal mental health at work is therefore too important to be left to chance. Our workplace mental wellbeing programmes, resources and campaigns help employers take an active approach to create flourishing workplaces.
