Newspaper Articles related to Northern Ireland Suicides
The following is a compilation of news articles that have appeared related to youth suicide in N. Ireland. Recent efforts by The Children of Ireland Group, we feel, have drastically increased the public's and government's awareness of this terrible tragedy. Additionally, our own mental health doctors continue in their attempts to help the N. Ireland government in developing a Youth Suicide Prevention Strategy. Should you see an article that should be published, please forward it to: terry@childrenofireland.us - This is a topic that concerns ALL youth of N. Ireland - no matter what side of the conflict!!
