Our Events
Each year we offer specific events that focus on advancing suicide prevention work in Aotearoa New Zealand. These events are held to coincide with World Suicide Prevention Day on 10 September.
National Suicide Prevention Symposium
The purpose of this biennial symposium is to provide high quality suicide prevention information to a broad range of stakeholders who contribute to the suicide prevention sector.
This includes those people working in central government agencies such as health, social development, police, ACC, corrections, justice, education, internal affairs, as well as non-government organisations such as iwi and social services, community groups, businesses, volunteers and others.
Each symposium has a specific theme determined by a working group of stakeholders. However, the programme format usually includes presentations from international and local researchers and experts, as well as local service providers working in suicide prevention research, policy, initiatives and activities.
You can search for previous symposium presentations (2002-2007) in our Resource Finder
Seminar Series
Every alternate year to the symposium, we organise a series of seminars linked to the theme of the World Suicide Prevention Day. The seminars are held in different regions, although the format is flexible.
