Poster campaign aims to tackle suicide

Posters displaying more than a dozen suicide prevention helpline numbers have been launched by South Kerry coroner Terence Casey.

Earlier this year, after presiding at inquests into the deaths of six people who had taken their own lives, he called for information on such services to be made available in pubs and other public places.

The posters, sponsored by the voluntary group Be Aware Prevent Suicide, will be distributed to pubs, hotels, sports clubs, and any place where people gather socially.
