Welcome to Suicide or Survive

Suicide or Survive (SOS) is an Irish charity focussed on breaking down the stigma associated with mental health issues and ensuring that those affected have access to quality recovery services that are right for the individual.

We are working to build a society where people embrace their mental health wellness and those with difficulties are treated with dignity and respect, and experience a service that offers them hope, a safe place and a positive future. SOS is leading the way through active collaboration which we believe will drive positive social change.

Our Focus
•    SOS is a forward-thinking organisation that believes firmly in the power of change.  Collaboration is key to raising awareness of mental health issues and breaking down the stigma that exists in Ireland today.  We are leading the way by actively engaging with key stakeholders such as the Health Service Executive, Government Departments, non-statutory agencies and carers to drive positive social change.

•    SOS’s Eden Programme fills a gap in the current service offering and is a quality recovery service which offers hope to people who have contemplated suicide.  The Eden Programme is founded in the recovery concept and puts the user first.  We are committed to developing this programme further to make it accessible to those that need it most.

•    SOS is focussed on being  part of the solution rather than the problem.  Using our expertise in the corporate, community and voluntary sectors, we have developed the Wellness Workshops which aim to educate all generations on how to manage our mental health.  Empowering people will lead to a society where people embrace their mental health wellness and those with difficulties are treated with dignity and respect and experience kindness, growth, respect, dignity and love.

SOS is an active partner of See Change - Ireland's new national partnership to reduce stigma and challenge discrimination associated with mental health problems. See Change is government led and is an alliance of organisations including the Health Service Executive, Government Departments, non-statutory agencies, service users and carers and other stakeholders - all working together through the National Stigma Reduction Partnership to bring about positive change in public attitudes and behaviour towards people with mental health problems.
