Cycle Against Suicide

25/08/2026

This World Su***de Prevention Day we are asking workplaces across Ireland to come together and take a visible stand for su***de prevention.

On 10th September, join Cycle Against Su***de’s Cycle of Hope -Workplace Challenge and turn one day of action into an opportunity for connection, conversation and hope.

We are asking organisations to bring together a group who will champion this initiative and who will rally others, get people involved and help create a workplace where people feel connected, supported, valued and able to ask for help.

Because connection, belonging, supportive relationships and knowing someone is there for you are powerful protective factors in su***de prevention.

This is a simple and meaningful way for employees to come together. Further details are available at: https://www.cycleagainstsu***de.com/cycle-of-hope-campaign-2026/

Registration is now open to teachers/schools to complete our Secondary Schools' Programme - 'HEADSTRONG' for the upcoming school year - 2026/2027.

Teachers have the flexibility to deliver our HEADSTRONG Programme in a variety of ways:
1. Peer-Led Model: Led by the Student HEADSTRONG Committee with teacher guidance, a group of students will take the lead on five awareness campaigns in a whole-school approach manner, on topics contained within our HEADSTRONG Programme.
2. Teacher-Led Model: Classroom activities led by teachers, including self-directed learning modules. This option allows students to work at their own pace, fostering critical thinking and personal reflection as they explore important themes around mental health, wellbeing, and resilience.
3. Hybrid Model: A combination of both peer-led and teacher-led elements.

Our evidence-based HEADSTRONG programme is free to all Post-primary schools/teachers. Registration is available at: https://cas-elearning.com/headstrong/

Please note, this is a school only programme.

We're delighted to share this beautiful song, composed by one of our Link Teachers, Caroline Friel.

Caroline believed that music could be a simple yet powerful way for schools to share a message of inclusion, kindness and acceptance with the whole school community at the start of the upcoming school term.

We hope this song inspires conversations, celebrates diversity, and reminds us all of the importance of creating places where everyone feels they belong.

With the Government proposing restrictions on social media access for under-16 year olds, and early evidence from Australia suggesting that similar measures alone have had limited impact on young people's overall social media use, our webinar with the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Department, University College Dublin explores the issue from a broader, evidence-informed perspective: https://cas-elearning.com/courses/social-media-youth/

In this webinar, Prof. Fiona McNicholas and Dr. Laura Bond examine the complex relationship between young people, social media and mental health. They discuss the factors influencing the current debate, including the media response following the Netflix series 'Adolescence', what the available evidence tells us, and where further research is needed.

At Cycle Against Su***de, we believe this conversation should move beyond fear-based responses and focus instead on empowering young people to engage with technology in a healthy, balanced and informed way. By developing critical thinking, emotional literacy and digital resilience, we can better equip young people to understand how their online experiences influence their mental health and wellbeing.
