The Paul Stafford Foundation 2010 - Preventing Suicide in Ireland

http://www.paulstaffordfoundation.com
The Paul Stafford Foundation was established in 2007 to raise awareness and address the serious issue of suicide in Ireland. It was founded by a group of people who were directly affected themselves by suicide and had lost someone they loved to this ever increasing problem. A young man called Paul Stafford is the inspiration for the foundation because in 1997 he took his own life, aged 26 and like so many suicide victims, left behind his distraught family and friends. 10 years later, those affected by this special man, felt a need to come together and do something to address the major issue of suicide in Irish society.

How the turbulent modern economy can affect a whole nation. There's no question in my mind that this is directly connected to economic stress.

We need to reclaim the idea of unhappiness. Now it's all labeled a disease, depression, that must be dealt with with completely unsatisfactory medicines. The medical model of depression adds to unhappiness.
