Over 300 young people in Leinster expected to use Pieta services this monthPieta, the national suicide prevention charity, is encouraging the nation to choose #HopeOverSilence as more than 1500 people, including over 370 under 18s in Leinster are expected to engage with the charity through one to one counselling services in December. Instead of a minute’s silence, Pieta is asking everyone to choose to talk about mental health and help open up the conversation further this festive period. All donations received this Christmas period will help Pieta to continue providing suicide prevention, intervention and bereavement support free of charge to people of all ages across Ireland. In 2022, almost 1,500 people, including over 600 children under 18, engaged with Pieta’s counselling services throughout the month of December.
