Description
Life Matters is a multisectoral group formed to develop information and support resources to raise resiliency within the community to suicide.
Life Matters has developed a referral pathway for people "at risk" and a resource manual for employers to determine what response they may take in respect of suicde in employment.
An annual community Hui is held to discuss community concerns and ideas to further this initiative.
Contact may be made to the Mental Health Promoter at NMDHB or through Lifeline Nelson office.
