SpunOut.ie Suicide Awareness

Our mini-documentary on mental health, suicide and sexuality.

We're proud to present to you our short mini-documentary aimed at increasing awareness around mental health, suicide and sexuality, which are all massive issues in today's Ireland.

The documentary was developed by young film maker, James Gavigan from Ballyshannon and was recently showcased at the National Suicide Forum, which was attended by President McAleese amongst others.

The footage features an interview with 22 year old Ian Howley, who is the President of the Letterkenny I.T. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered Society and documents his own journey from several suicide attempts to healing and growth.

Please be aware that some viewers may find this video upsetting.
