To mark World Suicide Prevention Day, held every year on September 10, our suicide prevention leaders at Le Va - Denise Kingi-'Ulu'ave, Leilani Clarke and Tiana Watkins - attended an event at parliament today hosted by Mental Health Minister Matt Doocey.
They were joined by Dr Claire Achmad - Chief Children's Commissioner, Judge Anna Tutton - Chief Coroner, and members of the Bereaved by Suicide design group for the Coronial Investigations Process Review.
Suicide is an issue that affects far too many New Zealand families, whānau and communities. Although it can be a difficult topic to talk about, the call to action for 2024 is 'Start the conversation'.
Together, we can change the narrative about suicide. Together, we can all help save lives.

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day, so we'd like you to meet Le Va’s suicide prevention team!
Le Va has two programmes in the suicide prevention space - FLO: Pasifika for Life and LifeKeepers NZ, led by the dynamic duo, senior managers Leilani Clarke and Tiana Watkins.
FLO: Pasifika for Life equips Pasifika families and communities to prevent suicide. FLO is Aotearoa New Zealand’s first Pasifika national suicide prevention programme.
LifeKeepers is the national suicide prevention training programme, created for New Zealand communities. LifeKeepers is available nationwide and free of charge for community and frontline service workers, aged 18 years and over. This training is designed for those who are likely to interact with people at risk of suicide.
Check out our amazing team sharing what moved them to become kaimahi in the suicide prevention space, and visit our websites at the links below:

We had a great turnout for our very first Niu Wave tertiary workshop tonight.
The Talanoa was powerful and we were encouraged by all the different students that are going to represent our Pasifika communities in STEAM careers in the near future. Our future is in beautiful hands with Pasifika representation on the rise. Malo
Niu Wave is funded by the Ministry for Pacific Peoples as part of the Toloa scholarships program
