New smartphone app could be the answer to reducing NZ’s youth suicide rate

Updated: 2 days ago

A new smartphone app could help bridge the gap between young people in distress seeking help for self-harm and support services.

 

These high tech tools are a small but important part of bigger programmes and efforts to prevent self-harm. Since they’re developed by and with youth, we know there will be high uptake and use by them and their peers.
