Please Talk UCD Please Talk is a student run and founded organisation whose primary message is to encourage students to open up and talk about their mental health problems.

www.pleasetalk.org Please Talk was first launched in January 2007 in UCD. It was in response to the deaths of a number of students by su***de in the student populous. Please Talk urges students to understand that talking is a strength, and if you’re experiencing problems while at college, there are people there who you can talk to. It promotes this message through a collaborative effort involving

the various support services present in colleges up and down the country such as: chaplains, counsellors, student support officers, students’ unions, disability support services and many, many more. If students experience problems at home, college, or in their private lives, they can log on to www.pleasetalk.ie, select their college and identify what services that are available that they might want to access. Please Talk is supported by the HSE through the National Office of Su***de Prevention, and is part of the National Mental Health Strategy. Since it began, Please Talk has grown to reach 27 colleges throughout Ireland already, and thanks to funding from the National Office for Su***de Prevention, we are hopeful that Please Talk will have a home on every campus throughout Ireland, and the campaign’s message will become synonymous with being at college.
