What does the app do?
Manawa app is a survival plan app to help users make their own plan to manage and reduce suicidal feelings and stay safe when these feelings emerge. ‘Manawa’ symbolises having hope in your heart, it's the driving force behind why you are putting this plan together.
The survival plan covers the following 7 areas:
- Recognising warning signs.
- My reasons to live.
- Keeping safe – reducing potential for use of lethal means.
- What can I do by myself – using internal coping strategies (without contacting another person).
- Who can I connect with – socialising with others as a way of distraction.
- My supporters – contacting whānau members, friends or professionals to help resolve crisis.
- Helplines.
This app is based on the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand and Ministry of Health booklet, “Having suicidal thoughts and finding a way back(external link)”.
