Pieta House is to open the doors of its first centre in the northwest this Monday, when they begin working in their new location in Letterkenny. The charity offers free and accessible therapy to people experiencing suicidal ideation, people who have been bereaved by suicide and people who are engaging in self-harm.
While an official opening is planned for later in the year, Monday is to see the centre up and running in the top floor of the Grand Central building on Canal Road. This service is free of charge and a doctor’s referral is not required.
Pieta House also has a free 24-hour helpline, 1800 247 247.
