SUICIDE, GRIEF & SUPPORT
STAROS groups run weekly on Tuesday from 5:30pm to 7:00pm and are held on alternate weeks at venues in Havelock North, Napier, and Hastings.
STAROS has been supporting those bereaved by suicide in the Hawkes Bay since March 2012 and hold weekly support groups, (see times below) and will also meet people individually if required. STAROS has a basic philosophy of caring for and supporting others and is always willing to be involved with any events that will benefit and potentially improve the wellbeing of the people in our communities which in turn helps to build strong, healthy communities. They facilitate the running of workshops and events that provide useful information and tools for people to take away, that are accessible for as many as possible to attend, events that offer positive messages that give people options that will ultimately make a difference to how we treat each other and how we look after ourselves. STAROS has worked hard to form connec- tions and relationships with other community groups and organisations as well so that anyone who makes contact are able to receive guidance and support for whatever their needs may be within the shortest time frames possible. STAROS AFFECTED BY SUICIDE SUPPORT TRUST HAWKE'S BAY While support for people affected by suicide will remain as one of the pillars of what they do, alongside that support all at STAROS have a vested interest in the areas of suicide prevention, education, and aware- ness as they have all lost a loved one to suicide.
