A co-operative approach for communities to respond to mental health and suicide.

 

What is Āpōpō?

A dynamic and interactive programme designed to equip people with basic and effective tools, to support themselves, and their friends / whanau by having conversations about their mental health and wellbeing. 

Many of us in Aotearoa know someone who is or has been affected by mental health and suicide. Many lives are being destroyed by loss of hope and loss of social connection, and we at Scripture Union New Zealand (SUNZ) are dedicated to being part of the solution.

He aha te mea nui o te ao? What is the most important thing in the world?
He tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata (It is the people, it is the people, it is the people)
— Māori whakatauki - proverb
