The Mental Health Foundation is the lead organisation in New Zealand working to improve the mental health and wellbeing of all people and communities in Aotearoa/New Zealand. 
 
Our approach to mental health promotion sees Foundation staff working with a wide range of agencies across health and related sectors to provide information and resources, training and education programmes and network development.
 
The Foundation is involved in advocacy and policy-making for improving mental health services and reducing stigma and discrimination against people who experience mental illness.
 
In May of 2005 the Mental Health Foundation launched a national campaign, Out of the Blue/Kia Marama, to raise awareness and understanding of depression; increase knowledge of what to do; and encourage those affected to take action by seeking information and help.
