I am Hope
Throughout the year our I Am Hope ambassadors visit hundreds of schools with our “Little People, Big Feelings” program. Reading our new TR & Mac book “Little People, Big Feelings” the Ambassadors talk to young primary age kids about how to ask for help and normalise counselling as being “just a conversation” as well as passing on other coping tools for them to take home and use in times of stress.
40% of kids will have a major crisis often associated with some type of suicidal thinking before they leave school. 80% of those kids never ask for help because they are worried about what others will think, say, or do.
With our program we aim to reduce this number and help kids to feel comfortable seeking counselling or talking to their mates without fear of repercussions.
The I Am Hope tours are an unfunded service delivered at no cost to schools and communities and all costs are met by our charity.
We need your help to keep up with the growing demand. Together we can build a better informed and more resilient generation of young people and arm them with tools to pass on to future generations.
By choosing to become part of the I Am Hope team at the 2024 Auckland Marathon, you can run while knowing every step you take is helping to get young people in New Zealand to a better place.
Any questions please feel free to contact Michaiah at michaiah@iamhope.org.nz
Mental Health Foundation of NZ

YOU can help us have a bigger impact on the mental health of rangatahi impacted by cancer across Aotearoa.
Around 4,200 new rangatahi are impacted by cancer each year, whether it's their own diagnosis or cancer in their whānau. Currently, Canteen Aotearoa can only support 20% of all rangatahi impacted by cancer in Aoteaora. For every one rangatahi we assist, there are five more who still need our help.
Your efforts will help fund programs that provide counselling, peer-support events, and development assistance to rangatahi impacted by cancer. Canteen Aotearoa is 100% community funded - we receive NO government funding! Together, we can turn every mile into a milestone for those who need it most.
Sign up individually or create a team, raise vital funds to help ensure our services can continue to support rangatahi across Aotearoa, and participate in New Zealand's most iconic marathon!
The steps you take in becoming a fundraiser for Canteen will make a BIG impact in the lives of the rangatahi we support. Last year, we provided more than 3,800 counselling and therapeutic support sessions, with 87% of rangatahi saying their mental health improved.
