Pieta House is a non-profit organisation providing a specialized treatment programme for people who have suicidal thoughts or who participate in self-harming.
RESEARCHERS from the University of Limerick and Pieta House are looking for people to take part in a survey aimed at exploring thoughts and beliefs surrounding suicide and mental health amongst the Tralee Community.
The first stage of this study will be to carry out a survey amongst residents in Tralee to investigate the thoughts and beliefs of people surrounding the idea of suicide in Tralee.
They hope that by getting a better understanding of the scale of the issue, then new efforts can be made to set up preventative measures which will be tailored to the towns specific needs, whatever they may be.
If you are over 18, a resident of Tralee and are interested in taking part in the survey, then click here to do the survey.
Contact 061 202708 or email Michelle.Kearns@ul.ie where you can request a paper copy to be sent out to you.
Alternatively you can come by the Manor West Retail Park between Monday, March 9 and Friday, March 13 where you can complete the survey while enjoying a free tea or coffee.
All participants will have the chance of winning a meal voucher for two, generously sponsored by the Ballygarry House Hotel.
