Supporting families bereaved by suicide
Avenal Park Funeral Home supports local organisations who assist people suffering from grief. Able Invercargill is running the Waves Programme, commencing Wednesday 27 February 2019.
Waves is an 8-week programme that aims to support adults 18+ years old who have been bereaved by suicide. The programme combines learning about suicide and bereavement with group discussion and support. The group is facilitated by two trained facilitators and supports members to:
- Meet and share with others who are also experiencing the impact of suicide
- Provide a safe, supportive environment to explore aspects of their grief and reduce isolation and stigma associated with bereavement by suicide
- Gain information and strategies about how to care for themselves and others (including children and young people) after a suicide
- Adjust to living with loss and moving forward
Next scheduled programme in Invercargill:
Wednesday 27th February 2019 to Wednesday 17th April 2019, 7pm - 9pm

Participants must commit to all 8 weeks of the programme. Transport may be available on request.
Grief is a unique and personal process. Nigel, Donna, Chris and Mel at Avenal Park Funeral Home are there if you need someone to talk to, or we can refer you to a local agency.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

0% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
0% No, individuals should take responsibility

0% ... It is complicated

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
