A community coming together for suicide awareness is encouraging others to do the same
A community coming together for suicide awareness is encouraging others to do the same
16 November 2018
Hundreds of people walked through the eastern Porirua suburbs last weekend to show support to those struggling with the impacts of suicide.
The Capital and Coast DHB has recently described a spate of suicides in the area as a cluster.
Walk organiser Nikki Kirk says the walk was empowering for the families who couldn't cope with what they'd gone through.
She says other areas are showing interest in supporting their own communities.
Kirk says they've had inquiries from Tawa and Titahi Bay so its branching out very quickly.
