Public Health Agency urges those in distress to use Lifeline

As World Suicide Prevention Day (10 September) approaches, the Public Health Agency (PHA) is urging anyone in distress or concerned about someone else to phone the Lifeline service on 0808 808 8000 for help and support. The service is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Lifeline is funded by the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety, through the PHA, as part of Protect Life – a shared vision, the suicide prevention strategy for Northern Ireland.
