Pieta house is a Crisis Centre for the intervention of suicide and self-harm. This wonderful service, which is free of charge offers one to one therapy by professionally trained therapists for people who are in acute distress. It is Pieta House policy to see people immediately operating from centres in both Dublin and Limerick, whilst also having three outreach services in Finglas, Tallaght and Ballyfermot.

In the last year Pieta House have noticed an increase in suicide amongst secondary school children and while every school has a Critical Incident Format, it is believed that there is a far more effective way to prevent suicide and ‘copy cat’ suicides. This can be achieved by involving children, removing the fear and ignorance attached to suicide and turning prevention into positive action.
