UCC first to launch Cycle Against Suicide in nationwide rollout

Student Colin Bradley from Mallow, Co Cork, is the main driver behind an initiative at University College Cork he hopes will drive home the message “it’s ok not to feel ok, and it’s absolutely ok to ask for help.”

UCC will welcome Cycle Against Suicide to its main campus tomorrow, February 27th, for the launch of the organisation’s University Programme. This will be the first of several such events held throughout the country on third level campuses.

Colin Bradley, a Msc in Government student and Volunteers Officer with Cycle against Suicide, went on to reveal the idea for the University Programme stems from the very successful programme from last year’s cycle, which culminated in a Student Leaders Congress attended by 4000 secondary school students in the RDS in Dublin last month.
