Help Lines

This post isn't my usual type of post, this post is wanting you to all know that it's ok not be be ok, that you're not crazy, that you're not on your own, that people do care, that you are loved, money isn't worth dying about, material goods are just the "fluff" of our lives, that you can do it.

In the past number of years the amount of men  and women of all different ages and backgrounds who have taken their own lives in Ireland has escalated drastically this is absolutely heartbreaking for them feeling that it was the only way out and also for family and friends feeling they missed a sign, asking why and feeling absolutely helpless.

If you are or know someone who is in suffering and pain please reach out and be there for them. Its good to talk you will help by simply listening and showing that you care. For most people a problem shared is a problem halved. If you feel you cant talk to family or friends please call one of the below numbers or visit your GP for advise.


Please reach out and ask for help.

Here is a list of help lines that may help:

  • Aware: 1800 80 48 48
  • Lifeline: 1800 273 8255
  • Pieta House: 1800 247 247
  • Samaritans: 116 123
  • Teen-line: 1800 833 634
  • Child line: 1800 66 66 66
  • MABS: request a call back from the MABS Helpline, please email us and write "Request for call back" in the subject line of your email. Don't forget to provide a phone number you can talk on privately, and one of our Helpline Advisers will try to call you back by the end of the next working day. helpine@mabs.ie 
         or go to mabs.ie for your local call number.



We as an entire community and as a small island in this  big world must waken up to the realistic issues that are causing this huge increase we need to educate ourselves and each other about mental health issues about what we can do to step in and assist. We need to help people find their voices it maybe a cliche but as a person who has communicated with countless souls that ended their lives because of issues in this life is heart breaking and this world we live in has raced ahead and left mental and emotional health issues to the side but with life as we live they are there staring us in the face. Be proud of who you are and know that you are not alone and you can get through this please please ask for help or call one of the above help lines they are confidential but dont hide it away because this will only make it harder you have nothing to be ashamed of.

Please share this along it may help someone you care about more than you will ever know.
