Anime For Humanity is a 501©(3) charity non-profit dedicated to using Anime and Cosplay as a medium to challenge the stigma surrounding mental health. We attend conventions all over the nation to meet people face to face, start conversations that spark change, and hand out resources to anyone looking for support and community. We believe that Anime and Cosplay give us an opportunity to move people from silence to honesty, from isolation to community, from pain to hope and healing. Our vision is to use anime as a tool to create a world where mental illness is understood, effectively treated, and ultimately prevented. There are many who suffer from mental health issues silently. They might not be ready to reach out, know where to look for help, or find the courage to step into therapy. Our mission is to reach them and provide them with hope and the mental health resources they need. Taking time to understand their mental illness and celebrate what brings us together in conventions can be one of the most direct ways we can reduce social isolation and challenge the stigma surrounding mental health.

Me2/ (“me, too”) is the world’s only classical music organization created for individuals with mental illnesses and the people who support them. Me2/ serves as a model organization where people with and without mental illnesses work together in an environment where acceptance is an expectation, patience is encouraged, and supporting each other is a priority. Our flagship ensemble, Me2/Orchestra–Burlington, is a non-auditioned orchestra that rehearses weekly and performs 3-4 times annually in traditional concert venues, inside correctional and rehabilitation facilities, and for mental health events. Our newest ensemble, Me2/Orchestra–Boston, launched in September 2014. Both of these orchestras give exhilarating performances that encourage dialogue about mental health issues and erase the stigma surrounding mental illnesses.

The Kindness Institute's mission is to empower marginalised rangatahi (youth) in Aotearoa (New Zealand) to transform their mental health and wellbeing, and that of those around them, through programmes guided by Te Whare Tapa Wha (an indigenous health model). Our programmes are designed to develop mindfulness, resilience and leadership skills, so that young people have the tools to overcome challenges, improve their wellbeing and live meaningful lives. There is a well-documented need for this work in New Zealand. For example, research for the Prime Minister's Mental Health Project showed one in five young people will be affected by depression by the age of 18, and almost one in five meet the criteria for an anxiety disorder by 19. New Zealand has one of the highest rates of teen suicide in the developed world, with Maori disproportionately represented. Moreover, the Covid-19 pandemic and extensive lockdowns have exacerbated this youth mental health crisis in the country.
