nib supports mental health company

Amy Tribe

The funding support, from nib New Zealand and its charitable entity, nib foundation, to Clearhead is part of nib’s COVID-19 member and community support package to help Kiwis through this challenging period.

nib foundation Executive Officer, Amy Tribe says “With one in six Kiwi adults diagnosed with a common mental disorder at some point in their lives - a statistic likely to be exacerbated by the impact of the pandemic - it’s a real cause for concern. That’s why we’re so delighted to be supporting Clearhead and the work that they do in this space."

“We’re thrilled to be giving back in a meaningful way by assisting Clearhead to continue to provide for free these additional functions that will have immense purpose and benefit, far beyond the pandemic, in improving the health and wellbeing of our communities,” she added.

Clearheaded has added a secure, online telehealth service to its suite of existing tools, which will enable therapists and support groups to continue to deliver crucial mental health services to more Kiwis across the country, even under COVID-19 restrictions.
