Middle-aged men run the highest risk of suicide

Middle-aged men are the highest suicide risk group, according to a leading emotional support centre.

Dublin Samaritans has launched a new campaign, Talk to Us, with volunteers taking to the streets to let those at risk know people are available to talk 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The campaign, which targets men in particular, is supported by Ireland and Leinster rugby players Shane Jennings and Isaac Boss, along with singer Dickie Rock.
