OUR APPROACH
Our mission is to empower workplaces and their employees with easy access to leading clinical experts they can trust.
MindMatters was founded because we are passionate about wellbeing and want employees to work as well as possible, wherever they are on the wellbeing continuum. We saw first-hand how precious time and money can get wasted on initiatives that even with the best intentions are often low-quality, low-impact, or even unsafe. In our experience, workplaces already have most of what they need and all it takes is a bit of expert support to make a meaningful difference for employees and the bottom line.
At MindMatters, we are proud of the services we provide and strive to offer only efficient, effective care in accordance with our values:
Kia Pono | Integrity
Manaaki | Care
Kia Tika | Excellence
OUR TEAM
We are NZ leading clinical experts, experienced and passionate about workplace mental health and wellbeing. Our nationwide team of accredited and registered professionals offer world-class skills. We are committed to providing efficient, high-quality support backed by science.
