If you are worried about someone, one of the hardest questions can be:

What do I actually say?

For World Su***de Prevention Day, Mental Health First Aid Ireland, in partnership with St John of God University Hospital, has developed practical guidance on starting the conversation, listening and helping someone connect with appropriate support.
You do not need to have all the answers to start the conversation.

Get yourself an organisation that can do both. 😎

Yesterday, our volunteers had a rather busy one…

🇮🇪 National Services Day Parade — proudly representing St John Ambulance Ireland alongside our fellow emergency and national services.

🏟️ Croke Park — providing medical cover in Croke Park for Irelands own Katie Taylor,helping keep the crowds safe.

Because apparently, one major event at a time just isn’t our style!!😂

From marching in formation to responding to those who need us, our volunteers were out there doing what they do best — showing up, working together and keeping people safe.

Different events. Different crowds. Same incredible team. 💚

A huge thank you to everyone who gave their time yesterday. You’re the reason we can do both. 👏

Today we celebrate National Services Day - Ireland where representatives from all our services both statutory and voluntary gather to celebrate the work and contribution all make to our society. Our volunteers were there to show what we do. It is nice to stand back and look at what we all do for our communities and this event gives us that opportunity.

When all eyes were on the eclipse last night our crew were in Croke Park providing cover at the Manchester United v Leeds United pre season friendly match. Despite personal rivalry they provided the best of care to all present.

Our volunteers from Dublin North are out this weekend providing pre hospital cover at the Rush Harbour Festival. We have been providing cover at this event for many years and always love the atmosphere at it. Well done to all our volunteers who are always there when they’re needed.
