Changing Minds, Headlight helping the Queenstown lived experience community to stand tall
Headlight was thrilled to host a special Changing Minds - Rākau Roroa (Tall Trees) workshop in Queenstown this October for members of the Queenstown community.
This unique programme aims to empower people with Lived Experience of mental health challenges to become ‘Tall Trees’, so they can use their personal experience and share their stories safely in their own communities. Their stories are viewed as a taonga/gift that can inspire others, positively change attitudes and reduce prejudice and discrimination towards people with a history of mental distress.
