He has trained as a psychotherapist and counsellor, and has been working in mental health for the last thirty one years. His passion is working with youth who are at risk of suicide. This book is a response to the question of 'Why does New Zealand have such high rates of this tragic phenomenon'? Practical ideas of how to work in keeping youngsters safe from risk are explored.
