Bereaved families take action to tackle suicide

Three Co Leitrim families devastated by the suicide of loved ones have been moved to organise a two-day seminar on the suicide issue in their home village next month.

The McTernan, Fallon and Kerins families have established a committee, STOP (Suicide: Teach, Organise, Prevent) to explore ways of reaching out to depressed people so that those in need can get help.
