"Pieta is a cause very close to my heart, having experienced loss due to suicide in my local town while growing up."
"Episode 10 of Normal People also touches upon depression and suicidal ideation, so it seemed like a very special partnership to want to help those in similar situations."
"I want to play my part in helping sustain these free services across Ireland.”
Pieta provides free therapy to those engaging in self-harm, with suicidal ideation, or bereaved by suicide.
