Breaking the Stigma: Mental Health & NZ’s Firearms Community | Glenn Thurston – MentalHunts

In this episode, we’re joined by Glenn Thurston from MentalHunts, an initiative focused on breaking down the stigma around mental wellbeing within New Zealand’s firearms and hunting community. Glenn chats about why MentalHunts 101 was created, the challenges many firearms licence holders face when it comes to asking for help, and the importance of creating safe, judgement-free conversations around mental health. We also dive into the first-ever MentalHunts 101 pilot programme happening in Wānaka, the support behind the project, and the long-term vision of rolling the programme out across New Zealand.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
