Suicide awareness group to be officially set up in Lisburn
Jo McNeill, Co-ordinator for the PIPs Organisation, will be the speaker and will offer guidance for the future.
The Rev. Brian Anderson, the minister of Seymour Street Methodist Church, who set up the group commented: "Sadly our City and surrounding areas are still being affected by the impact of suicide and the need for support is something I am more and more convinced is necessary. I think those who have been through the suicide of a loved one can offer a very special help to others in a similar situation."

I would like to invite anyone who has either been affected by suicide or would like to lend their support to helping those going through one of the most tragic events a family can encounter."
M Anderson continued: "It would be our intention that this group would work alongside both statutory and community groups who are already doing very good work in the promotion of good mental health.
