At Roar Coaching, we love and support the focus on mental health in Aotearoa over recent years. It’s an important topic, and we need to be more confident to have the conversations that matter, when they are needed. At the same time, nourishing and being aware of our own mental health. You are not expected to be a Counsellor or Psychologist, but you are expected to be a good mate.
