WHY - the purpose of your event
The ‘why’ should be at the heart of any suicide prevention event or situation where someone will be speaking publicly about suicide. Being clear about your event’s purpose will inform the rest of your planning and ensure you’re prioritising safety from the get-go.
For example, does your event:
• Support a bereaved community? • Provide information and tools to support whānau? • Increase awareness of the support available to people going through tough times? • Build connections between and knowledge of local support agencies?
You may have more than one reason. List them all here.
