People in Tipperary who are supporting family, friends, neighbours, colleagues or community members that are struggling with their mental health are being offered a unique opportunity to avail of a fully funded programme designed especially for them. Suicide or Survive’s ‘Supporters Programme’ teaches supporters practical skills they can use to support the people they care about. It gives information on what supports are available and how they can be accessed, and teaches practical ways of looking after your own mental health while supporting someone else.

For this reason we have developed this fantastic and innovative programme for people supporting family members, friends, neighbours, work colleagues, people in their community and others who are struggling with their mental health. It is the first of its kind in Ireland and we are thrilled to be bringing it to Waterford, where we have such fantastic partners and supporters.” said Suicide or Survive Founder and CEO Caroline McGuigan.
