As part of our Healthy Minds project, Altrusa Ohariu are supporting the Wellington Samaritans who provide a free phone service that helps thousands of New Zealanders experiencing mental health issues, anxiety, or depression. On the 10th of April, Altrusans will participate in the "Walk With Me" event completing a 10km walk to raise funds and awareness.

The Wellington Samaritans help thousands of New Zealanders at times when they are experiencing mental health issues, anxiety, or depression. They receive over 22,000 phone calls per year, with trained volunteers working day and night, 365 days per year, without any funding from the Government. Every dollar raised helps us continue to provide our life-changing and life-saving helpline free of charge to those who need it.
