Move for Life!

Kia ora Whānau,

September is suicide awareness month, and as this comes to a close NZDSA are hoping to raise awareness and funds for Life Matters - Suicide Prevention Trust who are based in Dunedin.

The topic of suicide and mental health can be difficult to talk about, but as future health professionals it is so important to recognise that mental health is a key component of holistic wellbeing. For both ourselves and those around us, being able to identify warning signs and how to approach these tough conversations is a great first step. Life Matters offer an incredible service to the community in the form of their hope centre as well as support for those affected by suicide, and we want to help them out.

We will be running a bake sale on Wednesday 5th October 12-2pm in the student common room and a yoga session on the 8th October 11am at Unipol to fundraise for this incredible cause. Donations can be made through this page, any contribution big or small would be so greatly appreciated.

Ngā mihi nui,

NZDSA
