WORLD INDIGENOUS SUICIDE PREVENTION CONFERENCE 2026
#WISPC26
NAU MAI, HAERE MAI
Our heartfelt gratitude to Te Rau Ora for hosting the World Indigenous Suicide Prevent Conference (WISPC) 2026.
On behalf of the World Indigenous Suicide Prevention Conference International Council (WISPC IC), we welcome our relatives from many nations to join in strength, spirit, and hope.
The WISPC IC believes in the power of connection – to our ancestors, our culture, our lands, and each other. We understand that this is integral to building a strong foundation for future generations.
This gathering is a place where Indigenous voices can highlight their stories and share strengths-based approaches, wisdom, and wise practice in life promotion.
