over 8,000 clients in Ireland were supported with
face to face therapy by Pieta experts. By the end of
this school year, Pieta will have reached out to
over 7,500 Irish students with a free bespoke schools’
programme called the Resilience Academy.
Pieta operates a free 24-hour suicide helpline on

fundraising, for raising awareness and for bringing
