About this listen

The self-inflicted deaths of six Northland young people reveals dangerous flaws in our suicide prevention system.

An inquiry by Northland Coroner Tania Tetitaha into the deaths, calls for a single, coordinated system.

The youths had worked with up to 17 agencies - that hadn't seemed to identify or follow up on their need for support.

Mindworks psychologist Sara Chatwin told Andrew Dickens we don't need more thinking groups and documentation - but rather people who have the skills and willingness to deal with these issues.

She says in New Zealand, we clearly have a huge problem - that other countries are very aware of.
