The July 2010 newsletter begins with an update on recent developments across the FVIL/211/VOC/Shine helplines, including details about another award and a new phase for the It’s Not OK campaign.  The remaining two articles in this issue have allowed me to focus on the admirable leadership qualities of three of my favourite people at Lifeline – Rikeeta Tarak (Manager, FVIL/211/VOC/Shine), George Hill (Kaumatua) and Stephen Edwards (Manager, Suicide Prevention Education and Clinical Director).  I hope you enjoy reading about their passion and commitment to serving the interests of others.
