Kia Piki Te Ora | Suicide Prevention

Our rangatahi and hapori are important to us and we want to work towards reducing the negative numbers in this space and provide tools and information that helps people strengthen their happy place.

If you don't know what to do or where to access support, then contact us and we can walk beside you to get the information you need for yourself, your whānau or your friends. We have dedicated kaimahi in this area who are understanding, relatable and accessible. We also work closely with other great organisations to make sure we can offer a wide range of options.

There is a lot of info out there and sometimes it can be hard to navigate.  Our focus is to provide the information so it's uncomplicated and easy to understand.  He Waka Tapu understands services offered by other organisations and can explain in an easy to understand the way how these may benefit you and/or your whānau.

Want to chat to a professional?  We can arrange that too!  Contact us now on 0800 HE WAKA (43 9252) or email rawiri@hewakatapu.org.nz 

This is a non clinical mentoring service. The above will be achieved in the following steps

  1. We will connect with rangatahi.
  2. We will listen and identify their needs.
  3. We can support their social connectedness with activities and suggestions to support finding their happy.
  4. We can refer to specialist services and walk with them in the process.
  5. Stay connected until services are no longer required.
