Rural Mental Health Barriers | Kathryn Wright

In this MentalHunts Podcast, we sit down with Kathryn Wright, a respected Registered Counsellor specialising in rural mental health. Kathryn is based out of Te Anau, in the deep south of New Zealand's South Island.

Kathryn brings her frontline experience and compassionate perspective to topics that are often overlooked, from the silent struggles many face in isolated rural areas, to the unique mental health challenges within the firearms and hunting community. Together, we explore the cultural importance of hunting, how to create open conversations and provide support without judgment.

Whether you're a farmer, hunter, rural worker, or simply someone who cares about mental wellbeing within the firearms communities, this conversation is honest, practical, and deeply important.
