Our organisation started in September 2019 by Krissy Mackintosh, who overcame her own mental illness and has been hugely impacted by male suicide. With Renee Grant, Joanna Higgins Ware and Chris Fraser the foundations for #Hear4U were developed, to create change and increase awareness around men's mental heath and suicide prevention, throughout Gisborne, Tairawhiti and New Zealand.
After three huge years on the 4th of April 2022, #Hear4U became a registered, charitable trust. With thousands engaging with out platforms (growing everyday) and the overwhelming success of #Hear4U projects and events, it's evident that an organisation like #Hear4U is very much needed as a connector, healer and educator.
