KEEP OUR COMMUNITY SAFE 💛🎗️

Su***de prevention walks and events are powerful ways to raise awareness, honour lives lost, and unite communities in hope. Across New Zealand, we’re seeing incredible momentum as people step up to make a difference in their own communities.

HopeWalk itself was birthed out of lived experience 10 years ago—by those who had lost loved ones and wanted to bring their voice to the table at a grassroots level. It began with a deep desire to break the silence, reduce stigma, and create space for healing and connection.

We’ve had the privileged to add our knowledge alongside other community groups and charities to bring the Su***de Prevention Event Planning Resource to life. Download it here. https://mentalhealth.org.nz/resources/download/1792/f4qp0hzhfn8tmdgm

We’ve also learned, through experience and hard lessons, that this work must be done safely and the right support must be offered and present. We also encourage everyone organising an event to do some su***de prevention training like LifeKeepers, this allows you to communicate the right message to those present. Every event should include the right clinical support, clear planning, and a commitment to wellbeing for everyone involved.

Together, we can keep walking forward—with courage, compassion, and care.

Congratulations Joseph on your incredible example. As a movement, we are so proud. 💛🎗️.
