Richard Black
Advisor
Richard is a counsellor and Director of Mind Health, a counselling and wellbeing organisation. He has been involved in people work for over 25 years, and holds a Masters of Counselling. Richard was a part of the formational team of E Tū Tāngata and penned the words explaining the three strands at the heart of it. He has the knack of being able to communicate complex issues in a way that is practical and easy to understand. His aim is to enhance the wellbeing and resilience of people and our communities. Richard is the author of two books: Centred: Knowing Who You Are In an Off-Balanced World, and There’s a Happy Moon in My Side (children’s book).
“E Tū Tāngata is so needed in our culture. Without meaning to we have created a culture that encourages people to think less of themselves and limits their sense of what they can achieve. E Tū Tāngata is a movement that seeks to “right the ship” and encourage a greater sense of self-worth, mutual support, and care for others. It is exactly what we need to help our people flourish, and help our communities thrive.”
