The availability of a support group for locals bereaved by suicide has been welcomed by a Kildare GP.
Dr Brendan O'Shea said the support group, HUGG, is an excellent resource as it is significantly informed by people with direct experience of suicide.
According to HUGG, almost 500 people take their own life in Ireland every year, leaving a lasting impact on the families, friends and communities of those who died.
HUGG offers telephone support and local peer support groups led by volunteers with lived experience.
