Harold the Giraffe is expanding his focus.
The popular giraffe puppet has been teaching generations of New Zealand children about their bodies and being healthy.
Now, Healthy Harold is teaming up with Barnados to educate five to 19-year-olds about how and when to ask for help with their mental health.
Barnardos General Manager Jo Harrison told Roman Travers they're hoping to reach more young people.
She says there isn't a more iconic figure to be teaching children about mental health.
