The National Office for Suicide Prevention is not a crisis support service and this website is an information and signposting resource.

If you, or someone you know, needs support, someone to talk to or is in crisis; please click here for details of where you can get help >>

Central Statistics Office provisional data for 2010, by year of registration, shows a total of 486 deaths by suicide of which 386 were male and 100 female. This is a decrease of 41 (8%) on the record high in 2009 of 527 suicides.

Whilst this reduction is welcome it must be remembered that these are only provisional figures which usually rise when full year of occurrence data is released. CSO data will be closely monitored and all of our efforts will continue to ensure that the suicide figures show a consistent downward trend.

The objectives of the 2012 Forum are:

  • To provide an update on new international and national evidence in the field of suicide prevention
  • To highlight successful and innovative approaches to suicide prevention in Ireland
  • To provide an opportunity for people to meet, engage, share and observe the collective efforts being made towards improving mental health in Ireland
  • To highlight the importance of coordination and partnership and the approach of the National Office of Suicide Prevention (NOSP) in supporting, monitoring and evaluating suicide prevention efforts in Ireland

A key part of the Forum will be a ‘Round Table’ session which aims to develop an action plan on how suicide prevention initiatives can be better coordinated to ensure full and effective implementation of the National Strategy for Action on Suicide Prevention ‘Reach Out’.
