The Nutters Club is a world first, online and offline media phenomenon that has changed and saved lives. It has spawned a very large, strong and supportive Facebook community and morphed into a popular television series on Maori Television. Over 500,000 people view the Nutters Club Facebook page every week.
It’s stated mission is "to forever change the way people, feel, think, talk and behave in relation to their mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, cultural and sexual well being; and in doing so encourage us all to take ownership of our own health and well being.” In plain English it’s a show about “Nutters helping other Nutters live at peace with themselves and others, so that we can all lead meaningful lives.”
The Nutters Club deals with all the tough stuff that many in society would prefer to keep in the closet. Topics like mental health issues, drug/alcohol addictions and the socially taboo. The show is hosted by Mike King. He’s the “head nut”.
Helping Mike out is the Club’s resident Psychotherapist with over 15 years experience - Kyle MacDonald

8 September 2019: Henry Grey shares his journey of growing up in Samoa, his dad passing away when he was 9 and the strong work ethic he gained when living with his Auntie. While Grey was definitely a good worker, his real passion was playing rugby, and he was talented enough to be granted a scholarship to St Patrick's College, Wellington. Grey shares his process of coming to terms with the reality of concussion, the prospect of his rugby dreams coming to an end, adjusting to the news that he and his now wife Chloé Nollen had a baby girl on the way and how his focus shifted to putting his daughters future first. With host Hamish Coleman-Ross and psychotherapist Kyle MacDonald, thanks to NZ on Air.
