MATES in Construction has received international acclaim for its work in suicide prevention in the construction industry, having been featured as an example of the world’s best practice in suicide prevention in a new World Health Organization (WHO) publication.
The WHO’s primary role is to advise and support Governments internationally to implement health strategies. The international acclaim comes in “Live Life, An Implementation Guide for Suicide Prevention”, a guide for policymakers around the world. MATES is the only programme active in Aotearoa to be profiled in the guide, which is an incredible accolade.
