Today – 10 September – is World Suicide Prevention Day.
This is a day when we all need to recognise the part we can play in preventing suicide – working together and supporting each other.
If you are worried about a friend, workmate or family member, reach out to them and listen without judgement – encourage them to get the help and support they need.
It’s also a day to remember loved ones tragically lost to suicide, and to comfort and support those who are bereaved.
Please read to the end.

Members may be aware that the Local has raised a dispute around the way FENZ’s wants to transition Papakura Station to a Senior Station Officer Station. This proposal would directly impact 10 personnel and indirectly impact over 120.
