A journey of hope and healing

I thought I had lost the daughter I believed I had. It's like the team from I AM HOPE have given her a great big hug, and they're there for her. It feels like we have some support now. Now, I have a very happy daughter.

Supporting our kids future together

I realised I could support a really good charity for our youth. And that we have the ability to connect with our kids, to enable them to know that it's okay to not be "okay".

I learned how I can help out my classmates

I didn't know that lots of people feel like they're not good enough for their family and friends. But now I can help my friends in class talk to someone when they feel that way.

At I AM HOPE we’re about
normalising the inner critic
The voice inside all of our heads that has
us second-guessing everything we do.
The voice of doubt that beats us up and
tells us we’re failures, that we’re worthless.
Having an overactive inner critic is not a
 sign of mental illness, it’s a sign that we are normal.

The key to life is hope!
Be that hope

For the last decade we have been giving mental health talks in schools and communities up and down Aotearoa.
