The national Like Minds Like Mine mental health campaign now has a local face. Community Radio Hamilton volunteer broadcasters Jacqualine Tauranga and Aaron Woolley have a weekly radio show which aims to provide inspiration for those affected by mental illness through a mix of factual information and personal testimonies. They encourage guests to share their own stories through word, poetry and song.
