Waimakariri MP Matt Doocey is imploring North Cantabrians to engage with a national suicide prevention initiative so people are better equipped to talk it out.
LifeKeepers is an internationally proven, community-led programme, funded by the Ministry of Health, which melds an ‘‘evidence-based approach’’ with local knowledge, and Doocey believes the stigma of not reaching out needs to be discarded.
An all day LifeKeepers training course is scheduled to be held in Rangiora on February 1, however the country's shift into the red setting of the traffic light system means the event will go ahead with limited numbers.
Doocey serves as the National Party's mental health spokesperson and was approached by Canterbury healthcare consultancy Pegasus Health about the initiative, one of several national programmes established to tackle New Zealand's steep suicide numbers.
"Part of my work in parliament is to break down the barriers," he said.
Doocey is a member of a cross-party mental health group alongside Labour MP Louisa Wall, the Green Party's Chloe Swarbrick and ACT MP Brooke van Velden.
The group commissioned the Zero Suicide Aotearoa report, released in 2020, which argued for to "a comprehensive, multi-sectoral approach that involved central government agencies, local communities and whānau".
"What that means is suicide prevention for dairy farmers is going to be a lot different than what the approach is about suicide prevention for young people," Doocey said.
"What we need for people who are working on the ground is to equip themselves with the skills and then translate them into those local communities."
Pegasus Health suicide prevention coordinator Elle Cradwick said the training, which she described as one of the best initiatives in the country, would offer practical tools to have important conversations.
"The training is certainly designed for everyday people, weaving in everyday experiences," she said.
Doocey said he was determined to help break down "some of the stigma".
"My assumption is a lot of people may see training like this and think 'I'm not sure if I want to be involved in that'."
Another mental health initiative, Mates in Construction, which targeted mental health in the building industry, was scheduled to host an event earlier this week in Christchurch, but was postponed due to the change to red.
Doocey said the construction sector had the highest suicide rate of any industry in the country.
Canterbury police officer Don Munro said it was also not a widely discussed subject among agricultural-based districts, such as the Waimakariri.
"It's an issue with all age groups," he said.
"It's because we don't talk about it, or discuss it with the run-of-the-mill, staunch farmer because they don't want to be seen as being weak, or to be seen to have an issue.
"There is a stigma attached to traditional Kiwi-New Zealanders, you have to get in there and have those conversations and acknowledge it's OK to be not OK."

The Rangiora man says while the bottles primarily represent history they are also attractive.
Svensson's passion was sparked when he was about 10 years old by his brother-in-law who also collected bottles and the hobby soon spread through the family.
Now, with a private museum collection of more than 500 bottles on display, by appointment, in a 40 foot shipping container, Svensson is particularly eager to get his hands on more Temuka Brewery bottles from the early 1900s, made of stone. Continue reading here.

Community and Public Health has issued a health warning for the Rakahuri/Ashley River at the Rangiora-Loburn Bridge.
The warning follows identifying moderate to high cover of potentially toxic blue-green algae (benthic cyanobacteria) in the Rakahuri/Ashley River at the Ranigora-Loburn Bridge.
There are also other access points along the Ashley River that may have cyanobacteria present and people are advised to check for the presence of cyanobacteria and avoid contact.
People and animals, particularly dogs, should avoid the area of the Rakahuri/Ashley River at the Rangiora-Loburn Bridge until the health warning has been lifted.
Canterbury medical officer of health Dr Ramon Pink said the algae looked like dark brown to black mats and could produce toxins harmful to people and animals.
“Exposure may cause skin rashes, nausea, stomach cramps, tingling and numbness around the mouth and fingertips," he said.
“If you experience any of these symptoms, visit your doctor immediately, also let your doctor know if you’ve had contact with dark brown/black algal mats or water in this area.”
Pink said people and animals should remain out of the waterways until the warnings had been lifted.
Reticulated town water supplies are currently safe but no-one should drink water from the river at any time
Pets that show signs of illness after coming into contact with algal mats should be taken to a vet immediately.
Environment Canterbury is monitoring the sites and the public will be advised of any changes in water quality.

Multimillion-dollar upgrades at a North Canterbury school may finally be set in motion after the prospect of a burgeoning school roll forced a rethink.
The $10 million redevelopment of Oxford Area School was confirmed four years ago by Education Minister Chris Hipkins and includes the replacement of 11 prefabricated classrooms, a new library and administration block and upgrades to other facilities.
It is the only school in the small Waimakariri town of Oxford. Several other schools in the North Canterbury region also received Government-backed improvements over the past few years.
Principal Mike Hart said construction was earmarked for the end of 2022, although this was a “best-case scenario”.
The previous few years had been marked by rebuild scopes, development of an education brief, and the completion of a long-term master plan last year.
It was previously hoped the build would begin early this year, but now the end of 2022 was considered more realistic.
Hart said catering to the potential growth of pupils during the planning phase had possibly slowed the project.
“A positive projection of the school roll made us think about the size and perhaps having something a bit bigger than we originally thought,” he said.
The predicted school roll for 2022 is 545, but the master plan accommodates for 800.
Detailed design is now the focus for school leaders as headway is sought on the project.
“About three quarters of the year will be spent on [detailed design],” Hart said.
He was hopeful of the build getting under way before the end of the year.
“Whether it is some demolition taking place because we have to remove some buildings to create the space,” Hart said.
“Hopefully some construction will take place by the end of this year. There's lots of factors that determine that.”
Oxford Area School, which caters for year 1 to 13 pupils, opened in 1978, replacing the 100-year Oxford District High School.
Most of the school's existing infrastructure dated back to the Bay Rd site's previous incarnation.
The school's principal agreed that some buildings were now out-of-date.
“They're really old and cost our school a lot of money to update them and keep them as fresh as we can,” Hart said.
