Resilience expert Korrin Barrett will be guest speaker at a suicide prevention auction on Friday.
The Atrium at Tribune in Hastings’ Queen St will host the event, which has been organised by the Reid O’Leary Charitable Trust.
Barrett, a Kiwi quadruple amputee and motivational speaker, faced her greatest challenge in
2012, yet from that trauma she realised she was built with a resilience she never knew she had.
She spent 233 days in hospital and countless more hours in rehab, but decided not to accept that losing her limbs meant giving up her busy, active lifestyle.
She has endured her fair share of loss, not only physically, but with the loss of her brother who took his own life in 2014.
