Our purpose is to enable the Mental Health Support capability of everyday New Zealanders.
Our Vision is that every single New Zealander has a trusted someone who will notice when someone may be having a hard time and can reach out to help connect with the right professional and social supports. Becoming a CoLiberate trained trusted someone so that you know how to recognise when a friend or colleague is in distress. Confidence to start the conversation will make all the difference!

Our Impact.
Our Vision is that every single New Zealander has a trusted someone who can notice when they are not doing okay, and can reach out to help them connect with the right supports. Become a CoLiberate trained trusted someone so that you know how to recognise when a friend or colleague is in distress. Confidence to start the conversation will make all the difference!
Based on our most recent Impact Survey of all the people trained, it is estimated that First Responders are having on average 3.4 critical supportive conversations every single week. This means that over 100,000 supportive conversations are happening every single year. Some of these conversations have significantly improved lives and some have even saved lives.
