Over the past months, we have consistently dealt with the issue of suicide rates among the Traveller community. I know the main role in suicide prevention lies with the National Office of Suicide Prevention, NOSP, and the HSE. Does Tusla have a role in training social workers in culturally appropriate interventions, from a postvention point of view where there has been a suicide event in a Traveller community or family, and signposting culturally appropriate counselling services for families affected by suicide?
