Mother spreads suicide awareness with poem

TIPPERARY mother Teresa Williams, who lost her daughter through suicide almost two years ago, is on a mission to prevent young people from ending their lives.

Her poem Only One You will soon be posted on Teen-Line Ireland’s website (www.teenline.ie), which was established a year ago to help reduce the number of young people who take their own lives every year.

Calls to Teen-Line’s helpline — the number is 1800 833634 — have increased by 800% since the phone number was launched in July 2006.
