In today’s world, our rangatahi face pressures like never before - and the need for support has never been greater.

The burden on our schools to help those in need has become overwhelming.

Despite commendable efforts, resources are all too often overstretched, leaving many students without the support they need.

About Lifting the Lid on Youth Mental Health

More than just a programme, Lifting the Lid on Youth Mental Health is a movement fuelled by compassion, empathy and a shared commitment to the wellbeing of our youth.

At the core of Lifting the Lid on Youth Mental Health lies a simple yet profound mission:

To help schools source additional or complementary interventions for students who have, or are at risk of developing, mental health issues.

The Rotary Club of Kapiti launched Lifting the Lid in New Zealand in 2019

In August 2022 the Rotary Club of Port Nicholson brought this initiative to the Wellington region. The programme is now supported by other Rotary Clubs in the Lower North Island.

While Rotary’s contributions have been instrumental in kickstarting this initiative, the need for broader support is apparent.

That’s where you come in…
