Our mission is to increase mental health literacy in communities, so that people have the skills, knowledge and confidence to support their own mental health and can actively support the mental wellbeing of friends, family and whānau.

“The Headlight team inspires me as they are one of the few grassroots organisations focused on what happens before people seek help or receive a diagnosis. Their experience and practical knowledge about building community capability so that people are better equipped to support their own mental health and can talk to others about it is hugely empowering for both the individuals and the community at large and fills an important gap in our current capacity constrained mental health ecosystem.
