Clearhead and nib New Zealand partner to launch the te reo Māori version of Clearhead

The Clearhead website and chatbot has been translated into te reo Māori with support from nib New Zealand and the nib Foundation. As Māori are consistently over represented in the suicide statistics, this highlights the culturally un-inclusive health system in New Zealand. This launch aims to better enable mental health accessibility and support for the Māori community.

This launch was a global first, with Clearhead being the first digital mental health service in the world to support an indigenous language. This launch also marks an important step towards better supporting vulnerable communities by providing culturally inclusive resources.

Check out below the various media coverages which discuss the partnership and launch.
