Te Pūwaha brings together research, best practice, training and workplace support to strengthen wellbeing across organisations and communities.
We work collaboratively with you to shape healthy systems, supportive environments and safe responses that influence positive wellbeing and suicide prevention.
Whether you need evidence summaries, co-designed projects, or tailored training, Te Pūwaha lets you pick one service or combine several to meet your needs.
We support organisations to strengthen wellbeing and suicide prevention through effective, sustainable strategies grounded in evidence, empathy, and cultural safety. Whether you are starting from scratch or reviewing your current approach, we offer expert guidance to strengthen systems, reduce risk, and embed best practice across your teams.
Every context is unique. We provide tailored consultation to help organisations, services, and communities navigate wellbeing and suicide prevention challenges. Whether you are developing policy, designing programmes, or responding to emerging risks, we offer insight, clarity, and collaborative solutions.
Work in the health and suicide prevention sectors is deeply meaningful, but it can also be emotionally demanding. Our supervision supports frontline staff, leaders, and teams with safe spaces to reflect, strengthen practice, and sustain wellbeing.
After a suicide, thoughtful and sensitive review is essential. We support organisations through structured, trauma-informed processes that honour those affected, identify learning opportunities, and guide systemic improvements, always with safety and empathy at the centre.
Clear, accessible resources help strengthen wellbeing and prevent suicide. We design tools, guidelines, training materials, and communication resources that support safe responses and help people access support. Wherever possible, our materials are co-designed, blending lived experience and best-practice evidence.
We work with communities, organisations, and lived experience advocates to co-create wellbeing and mental health initiatives that reduce stigma, support help-seeking, and build hope. We help ensure messaging is safe, supportive, and impactful.
This workshop equips participants with the skills to identify and respond to suicidal distress. We explore factors that contribute to risk, and how to have safe, supportive conversations that encourage connection and early intervention. Ideal for professionals, educators, community leaders, and anyone in a position to offer support.
Supporting others through loss, especially after suicide requires sensitivity and understanding. This workshop explores the complex and personal nature of grief, the impact of suicide bereavement, and how to offer meaningful support without judgment or assumption. Participants gain practical tools to support this space for the bereaved while also maintaining their own wellbeing.
In a digital world, social media plays a powerful role in shaping narratives of suicide. This workshop helps participants understand the risks and opportunities of online spaces. We cover how to safely respond to distress online, promote help-seeking, and use digital platforms to engage communities with hope-filled, evidence-informed messages.
What happens after a suicide matters. This workshop guides organisations, workplaces and a range of communities through best-practice suicide postvention. We aim to support communities to mobilise natural supports, reducing the risk of further harm. Participants will learn how to respond safely, communicate effectively, and develop postvention plans that honour lived experience and promote long-term healing.
Need evidence, fast? Our rapid reviews provide streamlined, high-quality syntheses of existing research to support timely decision-making. Whether you're shaping policy, designing services, or planning approaches, we deliver clear, actionable insights, quickly and efficiently, without compromising rigour.
Our tailored surveys capture the insights, needs, and priorities of the people who matter most to your work. From concept to analysis, we ensure data collection is robust, ethical, and designed to inform meaningful change.
Go beyond the numbers. Our in-depth qualitative interviews uncover the rich stories, perspectives, and experiences behind the data. Qualitative interviews can capture experiences, evaluate impact, or generating new ideas. We are experienced in bringing manaakitanga, structure, and analytical depth to every conversation.
We believe the best solutions are built together. Through co-design and co-production, we work collaboratively with communities, and key stakeholders to design sustainable services and interventions that reflect lived experience, local knowledge, and practical wisdom.
