Sometimes in life we just don’t know what’s going on in another person life. We lose contact with that person and we just think they don’t want to know you. Time passes by so fast and we lose track of time. Reach out to that person you not spoken to in a long time.

Since 2014, I have been running Su***de Awareness Ireland. What started from personal pain became a mission.

Over the past decade, I have worked to raise awareness, encourage conversation, and remind people across Ireland that they are not alone in their struggles.
This organisation was built from lived experience.

I know what it feels like to battle depression.
I know what it feels like to sit in dark moments.
And I know the strength it takes to speak up.
Su***de Awareness Ireland exists to:
• Break stigma around mental health
• Encourage open and honest conversations
• Support young people and men
• Deliver powerful talks in schools, colleges, sports clubs and workplaces

After more than 10 years, the message remains the same:

You Are Not Alone.
If your organisation would like to host a talk or awareness session:
📩 Su***deforallireland@gmail.com

Together, we continue turning darkness into hope.

One of the hardest things in life you will ever do is ask for help. Just because you adk for help does not mean your weak. It takes a strong person to ask for help. We will all need some help at se point in life.

Every 90 minutes, the clock resets.
Someone takes their own life.
And 76% of the time, that person is a man.

But that isn’t a statistic.
That is your husband.
Your dad.
Your brother.
Your son.
The mate from work who always shows up.
The one who keeps things light.
The one who never wants to be a burden.

We teach men to cope quietly. To be useful. To be strong. To keep moving.
So when they say, “I’m fine,” it often doesn’t mean fine.

It means tired.
It means overwhelmed.
It means scared.
It means: I don’t know how to say what is really going on.

“I’m fine” is a shield. Two small words doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Check in on the men in your life today.
Not with a joke. Not with a thumbs up.
But with time. With patience. With a question you are willing to sit and wait for the answer to.

They matter.
More than they know.
More than they ever say.
