Linda Bowden

Ko Linda Bowden tōku ingoa. No Trinidad, No England ōku tipuna. E noho ana ki Tāmaki Makaurau.

I’m a registered Occupational Therapist with a background in mental health and suicide prevention, particularly working with tamariki, rangatahi and their whānau. At Te Aho, I work in Tō te Rā Postvention Community Support and our Senior Leadership Team. My focus is on supporting communities to implement local solutions to prevent suicide. I believe in working together, and value co-designed, best practice strategies that improve people’s lives.I am a people person and love a good kōrero.

I’m a busy māmā living in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland. Outside of mahi you will either find me at sports with the kids, near the beach or the mountains.
