Editor's Notes
Facilitator: “ The NZSPS 2006-2016 was released by the Ministry of Health in June 2006.” Suggestion – show participants the printed resource and suggest to participants “it is a very good resource for suicide prevention, your organisation can order a copy free through SPINZ.” “ Most of you (the participants) will be working within one of these goals. Let’s have a brief look at each one… Goal 1 Goal 2 Goal 3 Goal 4 Goal 5 Goal 6 Goal 7 “ The New Zealand Suicide Prevention Strategy is lead by the Ministry of Health, the rationale behind moving to an all ages Strategy will become clear when we look at the statistics in the next module.” “ Since 2005 SPINZ have been contracted by the Ministry of Health to collect and develop information about suicide in all age groups reflecting the about to be released strategy.”
