Our Story
MINN is a Tangata Tiriti led organisation established to support neurodivergent immigrants and their families. Too often, neurodivergent migrants experience significant challenges accessing the services they require. They encounter cultural barriers, systemic exclusion, and environments that are not built with them in mind. We exist to make sure no one is left behind, to ensure that every migrant, regardless of difference, can belong, be supported, and thrive.

With the right support, I was able to overcome barriers. I wouldn’t have found a sense of belonging and empowerment without the guidance and community at MINN.
The difference between facing challenges alone and finding support through MINN is life-changing. I’ve never felt more confident, included, and prepared to thrive.
I’ve learned more in a few months with MINN’s guidance than I did in years on my own. Their community-driven support has made all the difference.
Being supported by people who truly understand migrant and neurodiverse journeys has been a game-changer. I feel stronger, more prepared, and more connected than ever before.
Before finding MINN, I often felt isolated. Now I have a community that sees me, values me, and gives me the tools to thrive.
MINN helped me navigate barriers I thought were impossible. Their support gave me the confidence to speak up and belong.
