Volunteer Team


Rachel Maat (She/Her) Volunteer

Kia ora, 
​
My name is Rachel Maat, and I have been a dedicated volunteer with Men and Trauma NZ since early 2024. My passion for the mental health sphere drives my commitment to supporting the organisation's initiatives and contributing to its growth.

I am currently pursuing my undergraduate degrees in a Bachelor of Psychological Science and a Bachelor of Communications, where I am developing a strong foundation in mental health advocacy and psychological research. While completing my undergraduate, I actively apply my skills to support the development of Men and Trauma NZ, working to raise awareness and facilitate meaningful conversations around mental health.

​Kia ora,
I have been volunteering with Men and Trauma NZ since 2024, where I perform a wide range of roles. I joined because I have a strong passion for mental health and trauma recovery, and wanted to learn more about the challenges facing ordinary New Zealanders. Outside of my volunteer work, I am a Master’s student at Victoria University of Wellington currently writing a thesis on the history of distress and distress disorders in ancient communities. As a student of the humanities, my passions for mental health lie especially in the intersection of science and culture, and how we can use the arts to promote and facilitate healthier connections between and among our communities.
