Suicide booklet available in pharmacies

The Irish Examiner’s award winning Let’s Talk Suicide booklet is to be made available for free in pharmacies across the country.

The Irish Patients’ Association has funded a further reprint of the 32-page booklet, which will be distributed across 2,000 pharmacies by early June. More than 250,000 copies of the booklet have already been distributed.

IPA chairman Stephen McMahon said discussions are also taking place for potential high-street promotions of the publication, subject to local councils providing the relevant licence to allow the step to take place.
