Suicide Prevention and Postvention in Nelson

The Suicide Prevention Coordinator will continue to work full time from home over the lock-down and is available by mobile phone – 022 0136 898. Please continue to use the supports listed below but I will always try to give you information about where support is available (although this will be remote help). We will continue to receive notifications of a suspected suicide from the National Initial Investigation Office and share that information with relevant agencies in order to ensure that support is offered. Note that Victim Support will continue to provide support after a suspected suicide; but remotely.
