#Hear4U is a registered charitable trust, CC59854, based in Gisborne, Tairawhiti: We are dedicated to helping our community break the stigma around Men's Mental Health Awareness and Suicide Prevention by providing healing pathways, sharing lived experiences and connections. Our aim is to reduce male suicide statistics within our region, "one bloke at a time".
How: We provide a much – needed advocacy service, and head office in Gisborne, which enables our team to connect and assist men, and whanau struggling with mental health challenges, or those that have been impacted by male suicide. To date, these much-needed service has been funded by our community in Tairawhiti. Principally this has been fundraising efforts that are on a hand to mouth basis. This is the biggest constraint faced by Hear4u and caps delivery of what can be funded. Demand exists for greater levels of funding to enable more lives to be saved.
Sharing Lived Experiences & Cyclone Gaberielle:
Post Cyclone Gaberielle the demand for our advocacy service is already dramatically increasing. Majority of our clients are based rurally, and are desperately needing connection, resources, and wellbeing pathways to be able to deal with challenges present and in the future.

Flood Relief Update 23 February 2023
Our community has been greatly impacted by Cyclone after Cyclone. We are currently supporting our blokes the best way possible:
Via:
1. Providing Awhi Parcels - Filled with food, first aid, clothing and blankets. We are personally delivering these and checking in.
2. Phone call, texts messages, and video chats - the power of connection.
3. Funding mentors, counsellors, and other mental health professionals to work alongside our lived experience-based team.
4. Pouring cups of endless coffees, and giving them a place to offload, cry, and recharge.
5. Transporting goods, donations, and volunteers throughout our region.
AND we are preparing for the future too. Many men are going to be battling for a long time yet. Systems are in place, and we need to fundraise to ensure we are able to keep our HEADQUARTERS and make it available for the wider community.
