Suicide Prevention Day
World Suicide Prevention Awareness Day was September 10th and suicide, its causes, awareness around it, and its prevention are observed on this day and during the month of September.
If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available.
Get to know what mental health supports and services are available and tell more people about them. Speak with a GP about what might be available locally. Tell your family, your friends, your colleagues – you never know when someone might need them. Many are open 24/7 and you can make contact in different ways, for example:
- on the phone – Samaritans, visit www.samaritans.ie or freephone 116 123
- by text message – Text50808, text HELLO to 50808
