Today Joan Freeman, Founder & CEO of suicide charity Pieta House said that the crisis of suicide in Ireland is being ignored. The headline read "Government is 'ignoring suicide crisis' says Pieta House founder".

In case you are someone affected by suicide, I wanted to reiterate that the people who work at Pieta House and other suicide organisations commit all of their resources into telling you and making sure that you are not ignored, that you are not alone and that suicide is not the only answer to what you are going through.
