Waves Facilitator Training
Dr Chris Bowden has now updated the Waves programme content. This refreshed version of the Waves programme aims to build upon what has already been established by Dr Bowden and offer the facilitators across Aotearoa a kete full of resources - making Waves a living programme that can be adaptable to different communities.
Waves aims to confront and challenge maladaptive coping, build safety and strong relationships, teach good coping skills, and highlight the trauma of suicide.

Matika
An eight week bereavement support programme for tamariki. Matika provides an opportunity for children who have experienced the death of someone close to them to connect with others in their own age group who are experiencing a similar loss. Together the children learn about the big emotions of grief, ways to cope with the loss and ways they can continue to feel close to the person who has died.
This programme has now commenced in Wellington.
