Fermanagh Ógra host suicide prevention programme

FERMANAGH Ógra Shinn Féin have worked in conjunction with PIPS to deliver a suicide prevention training programme to a group of local people to mark World Suicide Prevention Day in September.
The suicide prevention training programme was delivered on Saturday 11th September in Enniskillen to people of all ages and backgrounds.
Commenting on a very productive day, event organiser Phil Flanagan said:
“I’d like to thank PIPS for delivering the training, Enniskillen YouthBank for part-funding it and everyone who participated in the programme.
“I encourage other young people to become more aware and active in tackling this national epidemic which has cost the lives of so many people, particularly young people. There is no community, no family, and no section of society that has not been touched or affected by suicide.
“Suicide prevention is everyone’s business. We, as a community, as a people, must come together to do all that we can to ensure that more and more lives are saved, and that we are all better equipped to prevent someone from taking their own life.”
