Free, online, suicide prevention programme ‘Let’s Talk About Suicide’ available.
HSE marks World Suicide Prevention Day 2024
#StartTheConversation
The HSE is marking international World Suicide Prevention Day (on Tuesday, 10 September) by highlighting actions that can help us to start a conversation, spread a message of hope and save more lives from suicide in Ireland. See www.hse.ie/letstalk
On Midlands Today, Ronan Berry was joined by Josephine Rigney, Resource Officer for Suicide Prevention with the HSE, to discuss World Suicide Prevention Day and the theme of Change the Narrative and #StartTheConversation. The aim is to inspire individuals, communities, organisations, and governments to engage in open and honest discussions about suicide. By initiating these vital conversations, we can break down barriers, raise awareness, and create better cultures of understanding and support.

On World Suicide Prevention Day, the HSE is asking people to enroll in and take part in ‘Let’s Talk About Suicide’ – a free online suicide prevention training programme that takes just 60 minutes to complete. This programme is for everyone, especially people who are supporting a loved one or those involved in their local communities. It helps participants to identify people who might be at risk of suicide, confidently ask about suicide, keep them safe, and connect them with resources that can help.
‘Let’s Talk About Suicide’ is one suicide prevention training programme available from the HSE. A range of different programmes is available across communities nationwide, as part of the HSE’s collective efforts to implement Connecting for Life, Ireland’s National Strategy to Reduce Suicide.
