St. Mary’s Will Take Part in Run4Pieta to Raise Funds and Awareness for Suicide Prevention.
This October, St. Mary’s Gaelic Football Club will be taking part in Run4Pieta where players and supporters will be running continuously for 24 hours to help raise vital funds and support for Pieta House.
Pieta’s three main pillars of practice are prevention, intervention, and postvention.
Pieta’s prevention services include The Resilience Academy and the Amber Flag.
These are awareness driving initiatives to instil and empower young people with coping mechanisms to prevent them potentially incurring suicidal or self-harm thoughts in the future.
Pieta’s intervention model is our suicidal ideation and self-harm counselling therapy.
Through up to twelve sessions of free counselling, their strengths-based, solution-focused method aims to nurture resilience and collaboratively develop effective coping strategies with their clients.
Postvention practice is their Suicide Bereavement service.
They provide free counselling, therapy and support to those who have been bereaved by suicide. This service provides Suicide Bereavement Liaison Officers within 8 weeks of a death by suicide, and Suicide Bereavement Counselling from 8 weeks on.
St. Mary’s will be announcing the date within the next couple of weeks and you can start donating by following the link below:
We look forward to once again raising money for this very worthy charity.
