'Everyone's story matters': new project asks Kiwis to share their mental health experiencesLAWRENCE SMITH/stuff Mental health website founder Liv Young will be sharing people's stories of struggle & hope. READ MORE:* Suicide and mental health: NZ's quiet crisis* Your mental health experience* Long wait times for mental health patients in ED 'unacceptable, discriminatory'LAWRENCE SMITH/stuff Funded via crowdfunding platform Boosted, Liv Young is launching a website that will tell many first-person stories of mental health struggles in New Zealand. Forget mental health ambassadors or community events, blogging and social media, or even a simple conversation among an understanding and supportive group. MENTAL is a growing collection of human voices sharing stories on their experiences with mental health. My hope is that MENTAL strengthens and builds connections, as mental health involves all New Zealanders.
