getting people talking about mental health
Frocks on Friday is the brainchild of Gisborne local Jo McLean, with the aim of encouraging wāhine to wear a dress every Friday and get people thinking about mental health.
"When you are wearing your frock on Friday people will ask you why are you dressed up,
why are you doing this? It's a conversation starter about mental health," she said.
McLean created the Facebook group Frocks on Friday where she invited wāhine to wear a frock or something special every Friday from November to December.
"If you can't wear a frock because of your job then just wear something that makes you feel fabulous, just something that makes you feel a part of what we are trying to achieve," she said.
