IN THE MEDIA: Mental Health Week 2025
This Mental Health Week, Dr Galia joined some of New Zealand’s favourite radio stations to share simple, evidence-based tools for everyday wellbeing — from breathing techniques to reframing stress and building stronger connections at work and home.
Each chat was a reminder of how much we all need practical ways to “top up together” — the theme for 2025 Mental Health Week — and how even small actions can spark powerful upward spirals.

Mental health in the workplace
With the cost of living crisis hitting hard and unemployment on the rise, how is the mental health of employees fairing?
Figures from Stats NZ for the June quarter show there are now 50-thousand fewer jobs than in December 2023.
That’s led to more people job hugging – staying in jobs they don’t like – and that has consequences for mental wellbeing.
Dr Galia BarHava is an Auckland-based psychologist with a PhD in person-centred healthcare. She joins Susie to discuss how we can improve mental health in the workplace.
