508. To ask the Minister for Health to list the organisations that will provide the ASIST and safeTALK training as part of the initiatives on suicide prevention; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14781/14]

Training local communities in suicide prevention is one aspect of the work of the HSE's National Office for Suicide Prevention (NOSP) and its partners in the statutory and voluntary sector. A wide range of awareness and training programmes are available including ASIST and SafeTALK which train participants to become more alert to the possibility of suicide in their community. Therefore, I have referred the Deputy's question to the NOSP for attention and direct reply.
