Description
Aoake te Rā is rolling out as a nationwide programme providing free brief therapeutic service to individuals and whānau as they navigate life after a loss by suicide. Aoake te Rā means ‘a new sun rises' - the emerging light being a symbol of hope as whānau adapt to their loss.
- We offer a service for those needing focused support following bereavement by suicide. The service is:
- free
- available to all ages and at any stage after bereavement
- a brief service with approximately four hours support per person (e.g. four 60 minute sessions)
- available for individuals, couples or whānau groups
- We offer face to face, online and phone services
- We are one of a range of services that support people bereaved by suicide
- We aim to be a culturally responsive, safe and effective service
- We work with identified local Providers (e.g. counsellors, psychologists and other health professionals) who we train in suicide bereavement. If there is not yet a local Provider available in your area you can access the service online if preferred.
- We are an emerging service that has been developed using co-design with bereaved indiviudals, whānau and communities.
