Pasifika Suicide Prevention Community Fund

The Le Va Pasifika Suicide Prevention Community Fund is aimed at preparing more Pasifika families and communities to prevent suicide and respond effectively if a suicide occurs.

The fund seeks to support Pasifika communities to effectively implement community-based initiatives so that families and communities are:

• strongly connected
• equipped with the skills to cope with distress
• actively building resilience and reducing the risks of suicide
• assisted in accessing support services
• supported to build a strong cultural identity to enhance mental wellbeing
