Article Contributions

MindNet is a quarterly online newsletter that focuses on mental health promotion in New Zealand. It's strength as a communication tool depends on the contributions of people who work in the field of mental health promotion and prevention.

Contributing to MindNet is an effective and economical way to reach people with your ideas and observations.

MindNet is constantly looking for researchers and practising professionals to provide material on subjects that are of interest to our visitors.

If you are already writing research papers or case studies on a regular basis then we could be a great way of reaching a wider audience.

We also welcome contributions from practitioners who have not published before.
