Cycle Against Suicide

Directions Website Contact the organisation

Cycle Against Suicide In Europe, Ireland has one of the highest incidences of mental illness, ranking third out of thirty-six countries. This service is available nationwide.

Cycle Against Su***de is an awareness charity (CHY 20687) that makes a valuable contribution to the public education of mental health by changing the narrative surrounding su***de. Despite the clear benefits of treatment for mental health problems, only a minority of those affected go on to receive professional help. The biggest single barrier against treatment is the stigma surrounding mental health issues. Stigma is the result of negative and prejudicial attitudes and behaviours that are expressed by people to those living with a mental health problem or a mental illness, and it can cause intense shame and fear. People with mental health problems say that the social stigma attached to mental ill health and the discrimination they experience can make their difficulties worse and make it harder to recover. It is therefore important to address the issue of stigma if we, as a nation, are to succeed in improving the mental health of all Irish citizens. Cycle Against Su***de has been to the fore in helping to destigmatise mental health issues and change the narrative around su***de. Our community and school activities contribute to positive mental health as they bring people together and kick-start conversations about mental health and well-being. Our mantra: ’It’s OK not to feel OK; and it’s absolutely OK to ask for help’ helps build personal resilience and breaks the stigma associated with mental ill health. Disclaimer

Introducing MAPPER – Navigating Digital Life!

Cycle Against Su***de, in association with University College Dublin (UCD), is delighted to introduce MAPPER, a new secondary school's programme designed to help young people navigate today’s digital world safely, confidently and resiliently.

With digital life playing such a significant role in young people’s development, it is not just about how much time they spend online, but how they use technology, what they encounter and how they manage its impact on their wellbeing.

Grounded in research, MAPPER equips young people with the digital literacy, resilience and self-management skills they need to recognise online risks, respond when things go wrong and build healthier digital habits.

Teachers play a vital role in helping young people develop these skills. MAPPER provides an opportunity to bring meaningful, evidence-informed digital wellbeing education into the classroom.

🔸Assessing and identifying suicidality in young people.

In this important Cycle Against Su***de resource, Dr Michael Sweeney explores how to engage with a young person and sensitively assess for su***de risk.

Dr Sweeney and his team outline key facts about su***de and explain the four important functional domains in a young person’s life: Home, School, Social and Interpersonal, and the risk factors that may arise within each.

The resource also provides practical guidance on how to approach a conversation and assessment with a young person, helping those supporting them to recognise potential concerns and respond appropriately.

This is an important and practical resource for anyone working with or supporting young people, providing valuable insight into understanding su***de risk and having these conversations in a safe, structured and compassionate way.
This resource is available for viewing at: https://www.cycleagainstsu***de.com/cycle-of-hope-campaign-2026/

This year's World Mental Health Day theme, "It is time to prioritise mental health in the workplace," reminds us that creating psychologically safe, supportive workplaces is everyone's responsibility.

On Friday, 9th October 2026, we warmly invite employers and employees alike to join us at our Winter Lunch in the InterContinental Hotel, Ballsbridge, as we come together to recognise progress, share learning, and continue building healthier, more supportive workplaces for all.

Every ticket purchased helps us reach more organisations, support more employees, and continue our mission of making mental health a shared workplace priority.

Together, let's create workplaces where nobody feels alone.
