If your organisation does not know what to do or how to access support for somebody who you have concerns may be suicidal, our Kia Piki Te Ora Suicide Prevention Team can equip you with the skills and confidence to address this.

Our understanding, relatable, and accessible team can come in to your workplace, school, or business to present a free 60 minute workshop to help you identify risk factors, warning signs, and how to approach the topic of suicide with the people you care about. We will then give you steps on how to best utilize the support services that are available in your community to give people the help they need. Alternatively, you can come to our place.
