Cycle Against Suicide

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 hea

lth 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

They did it! 🎉
Huge congratulations to all our cyclists who completed the N2 End to End Challenge today, having cycled from Chaves to Faro over the past six days. They took on the long distances, intense heat and sometimes challenging road conditions and today marked the end of what was a truly remarkable experience.

Cycle Against Su***de are extremely grateful to each and everyone of them for their support, which will be vital to the continued work we do through our programmes in schools, workplaces and communities. This support enables us to provide accessible mental health awareness, education, and peer-support initiatives nationwide.
