It's World Suicide Prevention Day

Dav

Hello all,

You may or may not be aware, it's World Suicide Prevention Day and I don't think it's any secret to say that here in Ireland we have some very serious issues surrounding mental health and suicide in general.

Now, obviously, here on Boards, we don't engage with anyone who is suicidal or who has posted about it. We can't. The people who volunteer their time here as mods are not mental health experts, nor are community members who contribute. However, some of you will be aware that we've joined forces with the people from turn2me.org whenever these sorts of posts turn up.

Turn2Me offer professional online support and counselling. Today, they are offering free online group support for World Suicide Prevention Day.

They are also launching the Engage programme, an 8-week combination of supports including 1-to-1 online counselling sessions, almost daily Online Support Groups, and mood-tracking using their Thought Catcher tool. They are looking for Irish people to sign up, completely free, at the moment, you can do so here on their site. I'm signing up to this myself - I personally have a long history with depression.

So if you think there's something that you might need help with, Turn2Me.org is an excellent place to ask some questions and maybe even begin on a path to feeling better. It's well worth some of your time checking it out.

Placing this as a Sticky for a few days so it gets the attention it needs.
Thanks Dav.
