Local & National Organisations

Mental Health Ireland is a national voluntary organisation with 104 local Mental Health Associations (MHAs) and branches throughout the country. The membership includes mental health professionals and lay people who provide care, support and friendship for the mentally ill. MHI aims to promote positive mental health and to actively support persons with a mental illness, their families and carers by identifying their needs and advocating their rights.

The primary aim of Samaritans is to be available at any hour of the day or night to listen to and befriend those experiencing personal crises and those in imminent danger of taking their own lives. All contact is in complete confidence. Samaritans have 20 branches throughout Ireland. You can make contact by telephone, email and in some branches by calling in personally to speak with someone in confidence.
