Suicide Incidence: Statements.

 

When in difficulty, a person should feel and know where he or she can find help without being stigmatised. Being stigmatised was once a major problem. I am not convinced that, despite these improvements, those in difficulty can or will access the available resources. That is the reason I welcome the Minister of State's initiative at second and third level. We occasionally see people who appear to us to be vulnerable and wonder what we can do. One does not wish to become involved. Whom would one contact or what would one say?
