history
Fundraising for 3Ts makes a big difference. To date, 3Ts has invested over €2 million in:
- Research
- Delivering safeTALK Suicide Alertness Workshops
- Collaborations & Partnerships in Mental Health & Suicide Prevention initiatives
- Providing Funding Support for other Mental Health & Suicide Prevention Groups & Organisations
As an independent charity, 3Ts has consistently questioned Government committment to suicide prevention. We call for adequately resourced statutory services for suicide prevention, including 24/7 mental health crisis centres as an alternative to A&E for those in mental health or suicidal crisis. 3Ts also calls on Government to establish a Suicide Prevention Authority similar to the Road Safety Authority.
