Health Minister Michelle O’Neill has launched a consultation to coincide with World Suicide Prevention Day.
Protect Life 2 is a strategy for suicide prevention here.
Men are three times more likely to die by suicide than women.
The Minister says it's not just an issue for her Department. She says she will continue to work collaboratively to meet the challenge of reducing suicide rates. Lifeline can be contacted on 0808 808 8000.
