The Authorities has launched a public session to tell the event of Eire’s subsequent suicide discount coverage
The session is a chance for members of the general public, stakeholder teams and organisations to share their expertise, observations and proposals on suicide discount in Eire and to precise what they wish to see in a brand new coverage.
The present suicide discount technique, ‘Connecting for Life’, is being evaluated, with a ultimate report due within the first half of this yr. It’s hoped that the successor coverage will construct on ‘Connecting for Life’ and take account of recent proof within the space.
“In my function I hear heart-breaking private tales from folks whose lives have been devastated by suicide,” stated Minister for Psychological Well being Mary Butler.
“This public session is a vital alternative for these voices to be heard at a nationwide stage and be included into our subsequent coverage to scale back suicide in Eire.”
