Community Organisations
Identifying why a person attempts or completes suicide can be difficult. However, there are a number of risk factors and warning signs for suicide, and knowing what to do when you recognise them can make a difference. SPINZ can provide you with information and advice that other community organisations have found helpful in preventing suicide or working with the suicide bereaved in their communities.
